Sophia must master her psychic ability if she is to save the life of Queen Elizabeth and her fellow maids from a dark prophecy, in this third book in the Maids of Honor series. Sophia Dee, the most unusual spy in Queen Elizabeth’s Maids of Honor, has run out of time for her psychic skills to fully manifest. A terrible prophecy haunts Windsor Castle, and the Queen demands answers before the next doomed soul dies. Thrust into a dangerous competition to solve the deadly prediction, Sophia finds herself pitted against the most celebrated mystics of Europe: John Dee, her devious uncle and the Queen’s personal astrologer, and Nostradamus, the renowned prophet-seer of France. In a court where whispers of witchcraft, poisonous plots, and grim assassins threaten her at every turn, Sophia needs answers fast. But does she dare trust Marcus Quinn, her uncle’s striking assistant? Or should she turn to the tortured dark angel of the spirit realm, who whispers to her only of danger and death? As new dangers surface and the prophecy sweeps toward its final victim, the five Maids of Honor prepare to do battle. Only then will the girl who so often sees the future finally discover if she can save the Crown—and herself.

The Witch (1615/16?), categorised by its author as 'a tragi-comedy', pits the intrigues of a group of Italian aristocrats against the malevolent practices of Hecate and her witches' coven, leaving the audience with the impression that human malevolence is by far the fiercer and more effective. This edition sets the play into its dramatic and literary contexts, ranging from Shakespeare's Macbeth and Middleton's own later tragedies to Reginald Scot's sceptical Discovery of Witchcraft and King James's virulent Daemonologie. It also argues that Middleton wrote it as a topical satire to capitalise on the scandal involving Frances Howard, who obtained a divorce from the Earl of Essex on the grounds that he had been sexually incapacitated by witchcraft; she was also rumoured to have tried to poison him. Middleton exposes his noble characters precisely by letting them get away with murder.

A dark hunger lurks within an unsuspecting town… After waking in a field surrounded by corpses, Vincent Donnelly was forced to confront the spirit of a deadly necromancer. Now another lost soul, Selena, speaks to him. And if Vincent is to have any hope of solving the mystery of his past, he must heed her ghostly call… As they travel to the quaint town of Burnham, Massachusetts, Selena informs Vincent that she was once a witch, and claims he brutally murdered her. Vincent has no memory of hurting anyone, but someone killed those people in the field… Could it have been him? As he struggles to piece together his dark past, sinister forces are closing in. And Vincent is not the only one who hears the whispers of the dead. A local townswoman, bent on avenging her friend’s death, has found a way to communicate with a powerful ghost. Together, they drain the spiritual energy of all around them. And unless Vincent can convince Selena to help, this malevolent force will reduce everyone in town to a shriveled husk… including Vincent himself.
