Queen Elizabeth's Feast William D Bramlett

Queen Elizabeth I defies Mary Queen of Scots by breaking their 1567 accord. The English queen calls a young man from the year 2018 to the King's Feast to help her continued persecution of English Catholics. But war with Spain and the kidnapping of Queen Mary's son, Prince James, confounds Queen Elizabeth. Another queen more ancient than Elizabeth lies buried in Westminster Abbey. She too seeks Resolution in the afterlife offering to help Elizabeth. In Scotland, Sir Francis Ramsay's attempts to find Prince James are complicated by concern for another, more precious to him than the heir to the Scottish throne. Fairies, hollow-eyed seekers, and a famous family of kings assist Francis in his quest. Once again the 16th-Century royals use the King's Feast, spirits from the past and mortals from the future seeking Resolution. Without it, they will dwell forever in a place between life and eternity.
