Set in late 1598, the narrative centers around Christopher Marlowe, a renowned poet and playwright, who confronts his patron, Sir Thomas Walsingham, with a bold letter. Accusing Walsingham of inconsistency, Marlowe hints at exposing hidden truths that could jeopardize their safety. The tension escalates as Walsingham, a veteran of anti-Catholic intelligence, realizes the implications of Marlowe's threat. This gripping tale unravels the complexities of their relationship and the precarious secrets that bind them, challenging the accepted narrative of Marlowe's fate.
