What happens
Aphra Behn is a Restoration era English writer – and one of the first English women to make a career out of it – but she has a secret. She is also a spy for our ruler. As a writer, she focused on popular works that tend to enhance the status quo and also revel in the new freedoms of entertainment in post-Puritan England. As a spy, she works in the Netherlands to seek out regicides that may have been plotting against the new regime. Behn works to turn Puritans into double-agents for the monarchy and uses her pen to attack Parliamentary enemies of the king.
