But who stood to benefit? And are the rumours that she was with child true? Sir Robert Cecil, Elizabeth's spymaster, senses an opportunity to finally rid himself of his better rival, The Earl of Essex, who was seen with the girl before she died, and tasks Will to uncover the truth. But Shakespeare knows the Earl of Southampton, his patron, is allied to the Earl of Essex. Will is caught between powerful foes, and must choose a side if he is to survive.
