During the Civil Wars, Hudson accompanied the Queen to France to sell the Royal Jewels to fund her husband''s army. He was sent home in disgrace after shooting a man in a duel.

Sir Jonas orders Harry to find him. Harry''s search takes him to Paris, another city bedeviled by conspiracies and intrigues. He navigates its salons and libraries, and learns of a terrible plot against the current Queen of England, Catherine of BraganÝa, and her gathering of Catholics in London. Assassins plan to poison them all...
