1588: The London of Elizabeth I is rocked by news of a daring raid on the Tower.

But it has been stolen and Walsingham's spies believe it has been taken by the Enemy. This Enemy is not who we usually think of as our traditional opponet.

As Philip of Spain prepares a naval assault on England, Will is caught up in a race against time in pursuit of this fiendish device...
