Synopsis:

A down-on-his-luck actor and an English lord reluctantly team up to solve the murder of Christopher Marlowe in this Shakespearean-era young adult romp perfect for fans of F.T. Lukens and Mackenzi Lee.

London, 1593. Sixteen-year-old Will Hughes is busy working on Shakespeare’s stage, stuffing his corsets with straw and pretending to be someone else. Offstage, he's playing a part, too. The son of traitors, Will is desperate to keep his identity secret—or risk being killed in the bloody queen’s imperial schemes. All he wants is to lay low until he earns enough coin to return to his family.

But when his mentor, the famous playwright Christopher Marlowe, is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Will’s plans are hopelessly dashed. What’s worse, Marlowe was a spy for the queen, tasked with stalking a killer rumored to be part of an elusive order of assassins, and his secrets and untimely death have put Will under a harsh spotlight. And so, when Will unwittingly foils an attempt on the queen’s life, she names him her next spymaster.

Now, to avoid uncomfortable questions, prison, or an even more terrible fate, Will reluctantly starts his new career, which—yes—will secure him the resources to help his family…but at what cost? Adding insult to injury is the young Lord James Bloomsbury, Will’s new comrade in arms, whose entitled demeanor and unfairly handsome looks get under Will’s skin immediately.

Together, the two hunt the cunning assassin, defend the queen’s life, and pray to keep their own...all while an unexpected connection blossoms between them.

My Review:

I can’t give this five stars because I didn’t love it and I definitely wouldn’t read it again, but it absolutely deserves four for how very much I didn’t love the setting - purely a case of personal preference - and at the same time how much I loved the characters. It takes skill to pull such a visceral response of dislike from me and at the same time endear the characters to me so strongly.

The thing I like least about this book, and the thing that makes me admire the skill of the author the most, is the rawness of life in this medieval world. These characters live in filth. They are accustomed to it. Humanity here, from the aristocrats to the peasants, is only a step away from animals. Life is unpredictable, brutal, full of disease and filth and crassness and betrayal. And no one bats an eye.

It reminds me of Catherine Called Birdy (a book I still vividly remember viscerally hating when I had to read it for school all those years ago) in the way it portrays a world of casual brutality and scrabbling in the mud for a life. Honestly it’s probably at least in part a bit of germaphobia that makes me hate this world so.

Will and his friends go through so much over the course of the novel, and there are so many plot twists, that I was constantly surprised by events and by their tenacity and determination to survive. I never saw a single thing coming in the course of the assassination and murder investigation. I could see, after each piece had fallen into place, exactly how it fit, but not how it got there.

The characters and events were melodramatic and sometimes strained credulity, but it all fits with the underlying theme of plays and players. Shakespeare and Marlowe are even characters. Will begins as an actor playing girls on stage in Marlowe's plays, and he keeps all of those actor characteristics to his personality throughout the story.

Will is likable no matter his selfishness and many faults, and i found myself continually rooting for him and his star-crossed love. And I came away loathing the nobility, especially Elizabeth. Her court was rotten and she was the worst of them all.

The way the story played out was very satisfying and wrenched a lot of feelings from me. Not least of which was the conviction that I absolutely positively never want to visit this world.

Seriously though, James' sister Catherine deserved so much better. Her part of the story is the one thing that really disappointed me.

*Thanks to NetGalley, Colored Pages Blog Tours, and Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers for providing an early copy for review.

Favorite Quotes:

Goddamn it. I’ve been trying not to let these two become my friends, but they became my friends anyway.

---

Whatever lack of experience Bloomsbury claims he has, his inspired performance as the most vexing person I’ve ever met is certainly coming from somewhere.

---

To hell with Marlowe and Bloomsbury and all the other people who tug me into their dark intrigues and give me no lantern to light my way. I am tired of being left in the dark.

---

“We don’t need your coin!” Maggie snarls. “’Tis coin. We always need coin,” Inigo amends in a small voice.

---

Should I fail, the stakes are dire; impersonating a man of the noble class is a crime punishable by death. Though to be fair, most of the crimes in England are punishable by death.

---

’Tis a brave and dangerous thing to go about this world having dreams. A dream is even more fickle and fleeting than a life.

---

“So we’re not here to have fun?” I say, to be cetain I’m understanding Foxwell correctly. Because it very much appears as though we’re in the midst of fun.

’Tis Reamonn, the swashbuckling pirate lad. He prickles with knives like an adorable, bloodthirsty hedgehog.

Twelfth of July Orange Order Marches | Demonstrations: A History of Violence

The Orange community is the inheritor of a tradition and a set of religious and cultural sensibilities that purport to come from the period of Britain’s Glorious Revolution, the 1688-90 Williamite Revolution when the last Stuart, James II, was ousted and the Protestant Settlement secured. As the defenders of the Crown and the faith, then, they are truly the original unionists. But their unionism,…

ID: A tweet by @ pissvortex reading "good afternoon. the CEO of Tumblr and Wordpress is being sued on allegations of wage theft and human trafficking". This is followed by links and screenshots, transcribed below:

7. In June 2020, Plaintiff WESTMORELAND was offered a job to work for Defendants MULLENWEG and AUDREY HC, LLC in San Francisco, California, on the condition that Plaintiff agree to live in San Francisco on a full-time basis and serve as MULLENWEG's mother's personal assistant. Plaintiff was promised housing, benefits, and a regular 40-hour work week. Plaintiff accepted the job offer because at the time MULLENWEG extended the offer, Plaintift's mother had lost her job, and Plaintiff was solely responsible for her mother's complete support. PlaintifT's family live extremely modestly with very limited resources in Texas, and Plaintift's mother was in a desperate situation having no income and fully dependent on Plaintiff for support. Plaintiff was in no financial position to refuse the job. Plaintiff also had never been to San Francisco, and she was led to believe that accepting this position would provide career opportunities for herself that she never believed she would sce again. Plaintiff moved to San Francisco with Defendants with the hope that she would enjoy the job, provide financial security for her mother, experience living in a new city, and return to Texas in two months.

18. Defendants, who were each Plaintiff's employers for purposes of the California labor laws, employed Plaintiff in California from on or about July 1, 2020 through March, 2022. During this time period, Plaintiff was placed in housing directly across the street from Defendants and

22. Defendants and Kathleen Mullenweg required Plaintiff to carry a cell phone with her at all times to enable Defendant MULLENWEG's mother to track her whereabouts, which she did on a regular basis including on those weckends and the occasional evening that she was not at the residence working. Plaintiff was instructed that she was not allowed to leave town or there would be consequences. On one occasion, when Plaintiff took a day off to leave San Francisco for the day. she was called, chastised, and told she was insubordinate. She was warned by Kathleen Mullenweg never to leave town again or she would be terminated.

23. Plaintiff initially was placed on a salary of $60,000 per year for completing her regular non-exempt tasks and was never paid overtime even though she routinely worked well in excess of 12 hours per day and was on-call for the remaining 12 hours per day, seven days a week. While on-call, Plaintiff was not able to engage in any personal activity of her choice or leave her premises. Most nights while on-call, Plaintift WESTMORELAND would be called across the street to the Mullenweg residence to perform chores for Kathleen Mullenweg and/or to cover for nurses who would not show up for their shift or who would be fired without notice (each a common occurrence). Plaintifi was never free to participate in her own activities while "on-call." Defendants and Kathleen Mullenweg were well aware of the excessive hours that Plaintiff was working, however neither of them took any action whatsoever to alleviate Plaintiff's exhaustion or to ensure that Plaintiff would receive compensation for the overtime hours she routinely worked.

24. On or about June 14, 2021, the parties entered into a "Change of Status" agreement changing Plaintift's compensation structure from a salaried employce to an hourly worker. Plaintiff was to be paid $24.00 per hour for her compensation rather than continue receiving the annual salary of $60,000 per year. Even though this was considered a wage reduction, Plaintiff was advised that the hourly designation would provide her with the opportunity to get paid for her overtime hours worked. Even though her duties prior to the change of status were the same and always non- exempt and always entitled her to receive overtime compensation, she was intentionally misled by Defendants who told her that because she was salaried, she was not eligible for receiving overtime pay. Even though this characterisation was erroneous and contrary to the labor laws of California, Plaintiff was unaware of the wage and hour laws at the time and believed Defendants.

25. Plaintiff WESTMORELAND was never properly paid for the considerable overtime hours that she routinely worked, either before or after her change of status from a salaried to an hourly employce. WESTMORELAND, who essentially worked 24-hour days without a break or a day off continuously for months, was neither compensated time and a half or double-time in accordance with California's wage and hour laws. Defendant MULLENWEG, who was personally advised of the excessive number of hours that Plaintiff had been working since moving to California, did nothing to ensure that the California labor laws were adhered to, notwithstanding advice from attorneys and consultants that his employment practices were in violation of California labor laws.

26. What ensued for approximately a two-ycar period, was a working relationship with demands and conditions that matched 19th century slavery for Plaintiff WESTMORELAND. Plaintiff worked morning, noon and night without a break or rest period, she was routinely called in the middle of the night to assist Defendant MULLENWEG's mother for any number of unimportant and harassing reasons, and she was abused by Kathleen Mullenweg (Defendant MULLENWEG and other members of his family had full knowledge of the abuse and cruel treatment and even witnessed it). Plaintiff was called in the middle of the night routinely by Kathleen Mullenweg who would be needlessly cruel and disrespectful to Plaintiff, including throwing an object at her head, among many other grossly inappropriate things.

28. Defendants do not possess accurate or complete timecards or other documentation which properly and accurately memorializes Plaintiff's thousands of overtime hours worked over the course of the two-ycar period she worked for Defendants. For a brief period, occurring late in Plaintiff's employment, a supervisor was hired who began to track Plaintiff's hours, who expressed concern about the amount of hours Plaintiff had been working and who advised Defendants that Plaintiff needed to work fewer hours in order to conform to the labor laws of California. The new supervisor also suggested that Defendants adhere to California wage and hour laws and establish guidelines to ensure payment of overtime wages owed to employees. Defendant MULLENWEG also received this same advice from attorneys, however Defendant MULLENWEG chose to ignore the advice, and instead, fired the supervisor shortly after she started, stating to the employces that this supervisor was not acting in conformity with Defendant AUDREY's policies and therefore needed to be terminated.

Iran warns about the outcome after the nuclear strike The world fulfilled the possibility of retaliation from Tehran as Iran warned about “eternal consequences” after Iran bombed three major nuclear sites a day ago. President Donald Trump said there could be more strikes coming on Saturday at the White House live address. “Iran, a bully in the Middle East, must now create peace,” he said. “If not, future attacks will be much bigger and much easier.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegses was scheduled to hold a briefing at the Pentagon at 8am Sunday, with the latest details. Israel welcomed the US decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear bodies, acting as “the world’s most dangerous regime is the world’s most dangerous weapon.” Elsewhere around the world, the reaction was far more restrained. Some leaders from the United Nations and Britain to Mexico called for rapid ejection, while other longtime US enemies, such as Cuba and Venezuela, were deeply critical of the attack. “This conflict has devastating consequences for civilians, the region and the world, increasing the risk that this conflict could be out of control,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement. Guterres said he was “severely wary” by the US military’s use of Iran. “Dangerous Time”: The world reacts after bombs at Iran’s nuclear site Russia and China on Sunday condemned the US strike over the US nuclear presence, the country’s foreign ministry said. “An irresponsible decision to be hit by missiles and bombs on the territory of a sovereign state. Whatever it may be presented, it violates international law, the UN Charter and the resolutions of the UN Security Council,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. “We are calling for an end to the attack and an increase in efforts to create conditions to return the situation to a political and diplomatic trajectory.” China’s foreign ministry said the move would violate the UN Charter and exacerbate tensions in the Middle East. The ministry urged all parties in the conflict to end the attacks on Israel, particularly Israel. – – Reuters Trump ordered a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and effectively took part in the war that Israel began when it began bombing Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure on June 13. One of the US targets was Fordow, a uranium enrichment facility hidden deep in remote mountains in the desert. The nuclear sites of Natanz and Isfahan were also struck. Israel said it will help the US coordinate and plan the strike. Trump said all three sites have been “completely wiped out” but no independent assessments have yet to be carried out. The International Atomic Energy Agency – the United Nations nuclear watchdog – has issued a statement that so far has not detected an increase in “off-site radiation levels,” one of the threatening outcomes of a strike. Iran’s next move is being closely monitored. The country is already increasing its rhetoric. “Iran reserves all options for defending its sovereignty, interests and people,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragut said. Prior to the US strike, Tehran shows that if the pentagon participates in the Israeli war, US military bases and naval vessels in the region could be attacked. Iran has big weapons of drones and ballistic missiles. I have been using these in Israel for several days. It launched fresh waves of missiles towards Israel just hours after the US bombing began. Iran may choose the diplomatic route Trump encouraged before approving the US attack. The post Iran warns about the outcome after the nuclear strike appeared first on US-NEA.

Navy Deploys Destroyer USS Sampson to NORTHCOM Sam LaGrone – June 3, 2025 11:13 PM USS Sampson (DDG-102) conducts a routine port call onboard Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme on Nov. 15, 2024. US Navy Photo A West Coast destroyer departed on Tuesday as the latest ship to deploy in support of operations in U.S. Northern Command, reads a statement from U.S. Fleet Forces. USS Sampson (DDG-102) left from San Diego to relieve the Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship USS Charleston (LCS-18), “continuing the Navy’s role in maritime operations that support national security priorities,” reads the statement. “The deployment is part of the Department of Defense’s support to national objectives along the U.S. southern border, following Presidential directives and ongoing interagency efforts to improve border security and homeland defense.” Sampson, like Charleston, has a Coast Guard law enforcement detachment during its deployment. Embarked LEDETs have been a centerpiece of Navy support for the overall anti-trafficking effort in U.S. Southern Command for decades as part of Campaign Martillo. “As a surface combatant assigned to Destroyer Squadron 9, Sampson brings robust multi-mission capabilities to the task of defending U.S. sovereignty and supporting homeland defense operations in coordination with USNORTHCOM,” reads a statement. Destroyers from both coasts have been dispatched to the border to support anti-trafficking and immigration operations. Last week in the Caribbean Sea, USS Gravely (DDG-107) and LEDET 401 seized $13.5 million in cocaine, USNI News reported.

Essential Security Measures for WooCommerce Sites

Security is a top priority for any online store, and WooCommerce is no exception. With the increasing volume of online transactions and sensitive user data being processed every day, safeguarding your WooCommerce site is not just good practice—it’s absolutely essential.

Why Security Should Be Integral to WooCommerce Development

When it comes to woocommerce development, overlooking security can lead to severe consequences, including data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. A well-secured store ensures that customer data, payment information, and internal business operations remain protected from potential cyber threats.

From small-scale businesses to enterprise-level operations, integrating robust security practices into the development lifecycle helps mitigate risks and builds customer trust.

Key Security Measures Every WooCommerce Site Needs

Use Secure Hosting: Choose a hosting provider that prioritizes WordPress and WooCommerce-specific security features. Look for services offering firewalls, malware scanning, regular backups, and SSL support.

Install SSL Certificates: An SSL certificate encrypts data transmitted between your website and users, protecting sensitive information like login credentials and payment details. It’s a foundational step in securing any eCommerce store.

Regularly Update WordPress, WooCommerce, and Plugins Outdated software is one of the most common vulnerabilities. Keeping your core platform, extensions, and themes up to date is critical to closing off known security holes.

Limit Login Attempts and Enable Two-Factor Authentication Prevent brute-force attacks by limiting the number of login attempts. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification.

Use Trusted Plugins and Themes Only install plugins and themes from reputable sources. Many woocommerce development companies in USA emphasize code audits to ensure plugins don’t introduce security flaws into your store.

Implement Strong Password Policies Encourage users and admins to create strong, unique passwords and change them regularly. Tools like password managers can assist in securely managing credentials.

Regular Backups Even with robust security in place, having frequent, automated backups ensures you can restore your site quickly in case of any data loss or breach.

The Role of Expert Development Partners

Implementing security best practices can be complex and time-consuming, especially as threats evolve. Many store owners turn to experienced woocommerce development companies in USA for ongoing support. These companies provide not just development services, but also long-term security strategies.

The top WooCommerce companies in USA offer security audits, vulnerability assessments, and compliance solutions tailored to WooCommerce platforms. By working with professionals who understand both eCommerce and cybersecurity, businesses can proactively defend against threats rather than react after the damage is done.

Conclusion

Securing a WooCommerce store requires consistent attention to detail and adherence to industry best practices. Whether you’re just getting started or managing a large-scale operation, building security into every layer of your woocommerce development process is key. With the expertise of woocommerce development companies in USA, especially those recognized among the top WooCommerce companies in USA, you can create a reliable and secure shopping experience that fosters customer trust and drives growth.
