Publisher's Synopsis
Winter in London, 1601. In a court where fortunes can rise or fall in a moment, 'Honesty and Lies' is the tale of Honesty and Alice, two 13-year-old maids in Elizabeth I's court. Both are trying to survive as storytellers in their own way - one wanting attention as a performer and one trying to pass unnoticed as a spy. In such a precarious world and with assassination attempts being planned behind closed doors, their friendship will put both their lives in danger.
