The time is the Elizabethan age. The setting is the Queen's Palace. The plot? A stolen ruby. Lady Grace Cavendish is one of Queen Elizabeth's maids of honor. She is also, secretly, the Lady Pursuivant, or detective. The newcomer at the palace, Banoo Yasmine- a noble whose kingdom has been taken by a murderer, carries the Heart of Kings. This precious ruby marks the ruler of her kingdom, Sharakand, and the Banoo fled with it following her father's death. When the Heart of Kings is stolen, it is recovered in a laundry maid's basket and she is taken to the dungeon.
