Plot

Brilliantly written in language eerily reminiscent of Elizabethan English, this historical thriller is set in 16th-century England and concerns a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth I. Hidden inside a firedrake, an enormous float in the form of a dragon, the killer will shoot a poisoned arrow from the dragon's eye as it passes in front of the Queen in the upcoming parade.
