|summary=It didn't take Elinor de Lacey long to realise why her mother didn't want her to attend Queen Elizabeth's court. There's a reason why Elinor resembles the Queen; a reason that can only cause trouble.

}}

Elinor de Lacey (Nell) has an eager, quick mind that's been trained by her scholarly father, against her mother's wishes. Nell would rather be discussing Copernicus' latest theories than learn how to keep a wet larder or how to be a dutiful wife. It's Nell's greatest wish, in fact, to attend the court of Queen Elizabeth I so that she can discuss and argue with the finest scientific and philosophical minds of the day, but her mother is ardently against it. Nell doesn't understand why. Not, that is, until her dream becomes a reality but by then it's too late to go back.

I would like to thank Ebury Press for giving The Bookbag a copy of this book to review.
