Secrets, spies, and a race against time in royal London 👑🔍

Treason by Jo MacAuley is a fast-paced historical thriller that blends mystery, espionage, and adventure—perfect for young readers who love action-packed stories.

Set in 1664 during the reign of Charles II, the story follows fourteen-year-old Beth Johnson—a gifted actress with a dangerous secret: she’s also a spy.

When a mysterious ghost ship drifts along the River Thames, Beth is sent on a covert mission by the King’s Master of Secrets. What begins as an investigation quickly spirals into a deadly conspiracy to assassinate the king.

Now, Beth must use her intelligence, courage, and quick thinking to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

⚔️ Why This Book Stands Out:

A thrilling mix of history and espionage
Strong, smart young female protagonist
Packed with suspense, twists, and danger
Perfect for fans of historical adventure and mystery

This gripping tale will keep readers hooked as Beth races against time to stop treason and save the crown.
