About this listen

London, 1594. The Queen's physician has been executed for treason, and conspiracy theories flood the streets. When Nicholas Shelby, unorthodox physician and unwilling associate of spymaster Robert Cecil, is accused of being part of the plot, he and his new wife Bianca must flee for their lives.

With agents of the Crown on their tail, they make for Padua, following the ancient pilgrimage route, the Via Francigena. But the pursuing English aren't the only threat Nicholas and Bianca face. Hella, a strange and fervently religious young woman, has joined them on their journey. When the trio finally reach relative safety, they become embroiled in a radical and dangerous scheme to shatter the old world's limits of knowledge. But Hella's dire predictions of an impending apocalypse, and the brutal murder of a friend of Bianca's forces them to wonder: who is this troublingly pious woman? And what does she want?

"No-one is better than S. W. Perry at leading us through the squalid streets of London in the 16th century." (Andrew Swanston)

Good

I’ve listened to previous stories in this series and, though it was good, I felt this one was over long.

I love the jackdaw crew and their adventures

I love this series. Every time there’s a new instalment I like to listen to the one before. The narration is absolutely brilliant please do not change Mr Dyer. Hopefully this series goes on for a very long time.

Very disappointed
