“<br />
12-year-old Alexander Buchan was once content, training as a falconer at Strathbogie<br />
Castle in Huntly. But when his Earl sends him to Edinburgh to the court of the newly<br />
arrived Mary, Queen of Scots, the boy finds himself lured into a world of intrigue,<br />
terror and treachery. Alexander knows right from wrong, but how can he hope to<br />
outwit his master's murderous messenger'? Surely no one can defy an Earl – especially<br />
one whose wife is rumoured to be a witch!<br />
Soon, more than the boy’s own life is at stake: his friend Lizzie is arrested and the<br />
angry clouds of Reformation Scotland gather around the young Queen.<br />
It seems that Alexander must spy – or die.<br />
“<br />
A fascinating glimpse into the past – perfect for the primary classroom.<br />
