Description

Rebecca Lopez likes a life of opportunity in Elizabethis England—yet she protects strategies she dares not expose. The lovely, tempestuous child of the king's own doctor, Rebecca can also be a converso—a Jew who practices her forbidden religion clandestinely—helping others of her restricted belief escape death and persecution. She is often taken by her insatiable hunger for excitement to the busy streets of London in male garb to see the type of journey accessible simply to males. But one particular trip is leading her right into a dangerous viper's nest constructed of interest and bad murder, while in the organization of the dashing young actor who inflames her intimate interests even while he escorts her toward danger,a wonderful and courageous would be playwright who calls herself May Shakespeare.
