In our universe, Ponce de Leî is remembered for his fruitless search for the mythical fountain of youth. But, in an alternate universe, his quest found something very different-and very dangerous. After his return to Spain, bizarre rumors flew about what he had found there, and what had come back with him.Eighty-five years later, Spain sent a fleet of ships against England. The English were confident that they could repel the threat-but England's fleet was annihilated by weapons shooting beams of fiery light, weapons which seemed to employ the blackest of sorcery, even if they were wielded by odd-looking beings in monk's garb.The Queen herself was forced to flee to the New World on Captain Thomas Winslow's ship, Heron, accompanied by her advisor Dr. Dee, whom some called a sorcerer, and an odd fellow named Shakespeare, hoping there to find the source of Spain's powerful weapons. But they would find far stranger matters there than they had expected, such as a grown woman who had been only an infant a year before, and eerie tales of a gate to another world with beings who were not human . . .At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
