She is Dona Rosa Anzolabejar: seventeen years old, Spanish, aristocratic. She has come to England in the wake of Mary Tudor's marriage to King Philip of Spain and she has lied about her past . . .
He is Nicholas Harpole: an idealistic young Englishman who believes profoundly in a faith that has suddenly become a dangerous luxury. He never expected that a girl who was Catholic and Spanish could ever touch his heart. It is only much later that he discovers that she is something even more strange and terrifying.
For she is a woman from another world. Her name is Mendoza and she is really seventeen and Spanish. But she is also the product of a twenty-fourth century experiment in immortality that has given her staggering intelligence and a virtually indestructible body. Her masters have sent to her Sir Walter Iden's garden in Kent to collect extinct plants, not to fall in love. And by the time they realize what has happened to Mendoza and Nicholas, it is too late . . .
