One Secret Will Be His Undoing. 1566: When religious tensions, political intrigue, and personal vendettas collide, nothing is sacred. Driven by revenge and zealotry, Catholic rebels kidnap the family of William Harley, Clarenceux King of arms and herald to her majesty. In exchange for his wife and daughter's release, they demand the one document that has the potential to topple Queen Elizabeth and thrust England into civil war. The Final Sacrament test the bonds of Clarenceux's love and loyalty. Will he sacrifice queen and country to save those dearest to him, or will he let them die at the hands of his enemies for the good of the nation?
