The expedition, led by renowned explorers and traders, John Hawkins and Sir Humphrey Gilbert, has already suffered birth pangs.

When William learns that Wicken is one of Walsingham's agents he uncovers evidence to suggest the murder and Wicken's naming are designed to conceal a plot of invasion - backed by Rome and Spain.
