Gr 9 Up—Sophia Dee, niece of the mystic John Dee and one of Queen Elizabeth I's Maids of Honor (or secret spies), is struggling to control her psychic powers before a horrifying prophecy destroys the queen, the kingdom, and her friends. The well-balanced mixture of intrigue, romance, action, and historical setting makes this gripping series entry just as unputdownable as the last.
McGowan adds supernatural elements to this third entry in her clever court-intrigue/historical-romance series. Sophia, one of five women recruited to protect the young Queen Elizabeth I, can speak with angels and foresee the future. She must use her gifts to thwart a prophecy that predicts a death at court. References to Elizabethan superstitions add historical authenticity.
