Description:"Dead?" asked a voice nearly directly below Alice. She started, then held her breath, terrified."Dead," Crofton confirmed. "The Queen will be pleased, I do believe..."Hidden in a tree, Alice Tuckfield had seen the whole thing: her father riding along with one of his "friends" from London, the arrow that had come out of nowhere, and the meeting between the two men who now were saying that the Queen, Elizabeth herself, had wanted Sir Henry Tuckfield killed. If that is true, where is Alice to go? Then she remembers her father's advice -- "If ever you should find yourself in need, and myself unable to help you, seek out Lady Jenny" -- and she sets out in secrecy and haste for the manor house somewhere on the other side of York.But York is a bigger, more confusing city than Alice had imagined, and while she's wandering, lost and hungry, two boys run into her and knock her down. To make amends, they take her home with them for shelter and a hot meal. "Home" is not an orphanage, as she'd first thought, but the dormitory for the York Minster's Boys' Choir. And for a lark, Alice's new friends decide to disguise Alice as a boy and smuggle her into the choir to see how long she can sing undiscovered. It becomes more than a game of masquerade, though, when Alice overhears a conversation between one of her father's murderers and an official of the cathedral. Now it's a game of life and death, and if Alice is discovered, it will be the end of her.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
