Giveaway: Martyr: An Elizabethan Thriller
For fans of Tudor and Elizabethan fiction, I’ve got a treat for you! It’s, Martyr, the debut thriller from author Rory Clements.
Here is a description of Martyr from Amazon
In a burnt-out house, one of Queen Elizabeth’s aristocratic cousins is found murdered, her young flesh marked with profane symbols. At the same time, a plot to assassinate Sir Francis Drake, England’s most famous sea warrior, is discovered—a plot which, if successful, could leave the country utterly defenseless against a Spanish invasion. It’s 1587, the Queen’s reign is in jeopardy, and one man is charged with the desperate task of solving both cases: John Shakespeare. With the Spanish Armada poised to strike, Mary Queen of Scots awaiting execution, and the pikes above London Bridge decorated with the grim evidence of treachery, the country is in peril of being overwhelmed by fear and chaos. Following a trail of illicit passions and family secrets, Shakespeare travels through an underworld of spies, sorcerers, whores, and theater people, among whom is his own younger brother, the struggling playwright, Will. Shadowed by his rival, the Queen’s chief torturer, who employs his own methods of terror, Shakespeare begins to piece together a complex and breathtaking conspiracy whose implications are almost too horrific to contemplate. For a zealous and cunning killer is stalking England’s streets. And as Shakespeare threatens to reveal a madman’s shocking identity, he and the beautiful woman he desires come ever closer to becoming the next martyrs to a passion for murder and conspiracy whose terrifying consequences might still be felt today…

Thank you for not having hoops for us to jump through to enter. I am an Elizabethan person. Enjoyed all the Elizabeth movies i can watch. Even enjoyed the silly Black Adder in Elizabethan times….silly but very funny if you know some history and Shakespeare. Do not even mind that The Tudors is very racey and ….hmmm…not that historical correct, but LOVE the look and landscape.
Thank you for having a thriller. I do so love eating a good book. I sit down and devour. I stay awake to read it all in one or two sittings and then re-read later and again.
Stay warm this cold season by curling up with a book.
