England, 1597. The young poet John Donne is about to raise some hell. Literally. When the Order, the secret society that employs him, suspects the Lord Keeper - a top government official - of being more than the human he appears, it sends John to find answers. He applies as the Keeper's secretary and takes on a dangerous role as the Order's spy. His search to unearth the Keeper's plot takes him from the squalor of the London streets to the glittering Elizabethan Court, to enchanted forests and the play-houses. He must come to terms with his past and his present as he faces a growing romance with Ann, the Keeper's neice. This story is based on true events....with a bunch of paranormal mayhem thrown in.
