Mary's coronation is coming -- meaning Rose will be put to work making elaborate gowns. But the religious queen's next plan is to begin her attack on Protestants -- burning them at the stake! Rose's dad, Nicolas Oliver, master spy and goldsmith for the court, urges Rose to escape to her home century, the twenty-first, where Rose becomes linked to a young immigrant, Marisol. Rose must protect her from their middle school's mean girls and the looming threat of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But now, relishing her newfound family, Rose is determined to rescue her father and best friend, Franny, from the dangers of Queen Mary's reign. Is she willing to risk everything to save the people closest to her?
