Mask of the Raven

Daughter of the head of a secret society in 1860s Germany, Inge Kron embarks on a mission to find a rare manuscript by the English mystic Dr. John Dee. She finds herself at the court of Hannover, having to muster skills of deception and flattery just as much as book learning. But she is being watched. When she meets the younger princess of Hannover who has been studying Dee’s work, she finds that the book has a strange effect on those who read it. The Prussian army is closing in on Hannover, and with the eyes of another secret society also set on the manuscript, there is little time to obtain the book. But the question remains: what strange magic is hidden within its pages?
