S. J. Parris | Prophecy
Prophecy by S. J. Parris is the second historical thriller in the acclaimed Giordano Bruno series. England, autumn 1583: Queen Elizabeth I's throne is under threat as supporters of the imprisoned Mary Stuart secretly plot to replace her. At the same time, an extraordinary astrological phenomenon fuels fears that one age is ending and another – potentially disastrous – is about to begin.
Working for Elizabeth's spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham, Bruno infiltrates the circle of conspirators at the French embassy in search of evidence that could destroy Mary Stuart's supporters. But when a young maid of honour is found murdered with occult symbols carved into her body, Bruno is drawn into a mystery darker than political treason alone. Blending espionage, murder, religious conflict and Renaissance fascination with astrology and the occult, Prophecy creates a vivid portrait of Elizabethan England, where secrets are deadly and loyalty can be impossible to prove.
