For fans of Philippa Gregory! The final book in The Lacey Chronicles offers another captivating tale of romance, deception and destiny.

England, 1586
Mercy Hart, daughter of one of London's wealthiest and most devout cloth merchants, is expected to marry her equal in rank and piety. Certainly not Kit Turner, a lowly actor and playboy, who also happens to be the late Earl of Dorset's illegitimate son. But when a chance encounter throws them together, Kit instantly falls for the beautiful Mercy's charms . . . and Mercy can't deny the passion that Kit stirs within her. She seems ready to defy her father's wishes—ready to renounce her family and her family name for true love. 
Then Kit finds himself accused treason. 
Will Mercy have the strength to stand by him? Or will she succumb to pressure and break his heart?

      The historical Lacey Chronicles series continues with this third outing that follows Mercy's forbidden romance with notorious actor Kit in 1586. Although familiar characters from the previous installments populate the background, this book stands alone. Shy, pious Mercy falls hard for Kit when they meet at a dinner party, and Kit, who loves the wenches, falls just as hard for her. His second meeting with her does not go well, causing scandal when he approaches her family in church. Nevertheless, Kit remains determined to marry Mercy and manages to win her love, despite the opposition of Mercy's rich and straight-laced Puritan father. The couple's secret plans go awry when Kit is arrested for possible treason, having gone drinking with Anthony Babington, who conspired with Mary, Queen of Scots to assassinate Elizabeth. Edwards keeps her story moving along swiftly, bolstering the standard star-crossed-lovers central plot with neatly folded-in historical detail. Her Elizabethan London adds a sense of authenticity to the whole story, and she even throws in a young Will Shakespeare as a minor player in Kit's theater company. The characters' reaction to the dangers of Kit's arrest and his experiences in prison seem credible to the times, adding a further dimension of historical accuracy to the narrative. Mercy's character, especially, comes across nicely, along with her interesting family. Solid historical entertainment. (Historical romance. 12 & up)

      London actor Kit Turner falls for Mercy Hart, whose pious merchant father disapproves of the match. When Kit accidentally becomes entangled in the historic 1586 Babington Plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth, Mercy must disobey her father and, with the Lacey brothers, help clear Kit's name. Familiar characters return and historical British figures appear in this well-researched, engaging third series entry.
