The Fyre Mirror - first US edition

by Karen Harper - signed

Smitten with spring fever, Elizabeth Tudor escapes London for fantastical Nonesuch Palace in the sweet Surrey countryside. There she hopes to relax and pose for the official royal portrait for which she is holding a competition. Elizabeth is both delighted and dismayed when her young court artist, Gil Sharpe, returns early from schooling in Italy, where he has also been spying for the crown. But one of her artists is burned to death, and portraits of the queen are going up in flames. Has the arsonist been sent by foreign foes or is it someone in her own court?
