What is Betrayal about?

In Elizabethan England, Lady Grace Cavendish is troubled when her fellow maid of honour, Lady Sarah, vanishes after visiting the Queen’s fleet. A letter suggests Sarah has eloped with Captain Drake, but Grace suspects something darker. Disguised and accompanied by her acrobat friend Masou, she follows the trail from court to a ship at sea. As pirates, danger and divided loyalties threaten them, Grace must uncover the truth and rescue Sarah before scandal destroys her friend’s honour—and the voyage becomes impossible to escape.
