YA
Maids of Honor series.
McGowan adds supernatural elements to this third entry in her clever court-intrigue/historical-romance series. Sophia, one of five women recruited to protect the young Queen Elizabeth I, can speak with angels and foresee the future. She must use her gifts to thwart a prophecy that predicts a death at court. References to Elizabethan superstitions add historical authenticity.
