Full Description
Elizabethan England is a time of superstition
and strange goings on. If you have a problem, it's common to go to a
witch for help. And Queen Elizabeth I is no different...When Daisy -- a
precocious young witch -- learns of the death of the Queen's Royal Witch, she
flies to London to audition as her replacement. But Daisy is from a poor family,
and they don't let just anyone into the Royal Court. The only way into the
palace is to take a job as a cleaner. As Daisy cleans the palace, she draws the
attention of Elizabeth's doctor (and arch-heretic) John Dee, who places her into
the auditions -- much to the chagrin of her more well-to-do competitors. But
Dee knows how dangerous the corridors of power have become, with dark forces
manipulating events for their own ends. To him, Daisy represents a wild card --
one that may decide the fate of many. With so many wanting her to fail, Daisy
will need all her grit and determination to make it through these auditions --
not to mention a sense of daring and adventure...
