Gabriellen also befriends Mark Rowan, a Welsh horsebreeder who travels the country fairs and is Queen Elizabeth's spy who discovers plots against her life.
Jack finds favour at the court, and aware of the Queen's penchant for unattached men, keeps his affair with Gabriellen a secret, refusing to marry her even when she is with child.

But Esmond Angel is not all he seems and his links with the Lodon criminal Underworld draw Gabriellen in danger...
