After her mother is executed as a witch, Alyce flees to London. There with the help of Solomon, a friendly actor, she discovers strange truths about the supernatural powers that drive the politics of Renaissance England. Although Bowling's novel showcases deep historical research, the plot is an extended chase scene, with Alyce making one discovery after another until she and Solomon escape to the New World.
