Synopsis

Before his death in 1609, the brilliant Elizabethan spy and astrologer John Dee hid his most astonishing secrets, trusting his descendants would one day bring them to light. That time has come. In 2003, Will Stafford inherits a strange legacy from his mother: a key and an ancient script with an enigmatic note. Intrigued, he travels Europe seeking answers toDee's riddles, unaware that someone is following every move. Back inLondon, Lucy King becomes entangled in Will's cryptic labyrinth. As its mysterious twists take her fromFrance toNew York, and from literature to myth, in search of its hidden treasure, she has never been closer to the truth, nor in graver danger.
