In 1583 astrologer and magician Dr John Dee finds a remarkable jar with fantastic powers. He employs it in the service of the Queen to save the nation from imminent peril. 400 years later the jar appears again, this time in the hands of a young couple honeymooning in Cornwall. The question is, have they found the jar, or has it found them? "Skilfully mixes historical accuracy, insight into human behaviour, spies, mystery, adventure and a healthy dose of derring-do, to arrive at a story which captures the reader from the start, taking them on an adventure which leaves them wanting more." Will appeal to fans of Dan Brown and Tom Harper.
