My name is Presto, and I am a still a ghost. I came to London as a penniless orphan from Athy, Ireland. Now I am in Queen Elizabeth's personal Secret Service. I am to accompany her Earl of Essex - the new Lord Deputy of Ireland, as he tries to put down a rebellion that has spread across the island in 1599. Through many treacherous perils, I will accompany the two Rebel Chieftains – Hugh Roe O’Donnell, and Hugh O’Neill – the Earl of Tyrone, as they prepare to do battle with my Earl’s English and Royal armies. My Fate, and that of Ireland’s, are tied to the battles that lie ahead.
