Maid of Secretsby Jennifer McGowan is the thrilling first novel in the Maids of Honorseries, a captivating blend of historical fiction, intrigue, and young adult adventure.

Rather than facing imprisonment, Meg is recruited into the Queen’s covert guard — the Maids of Honor — where she joins a select group of skilled young women trained in espionage, diplomacy, and deception. As England welcomes a delegation from the Spanish Court, Meg’s talent for spy work becomes crucial. But as dangerous plots unfold and enemies close in, her growing feelings for a charming Spanish courtier threaten to complicate her mission. In a world of masked balls, secret passageways, and deadly secrets, Meg must learn who to trust — and how to survive.
