An excellent text on the War of the Roses, the conflict between the Lancaster and York families plus their ties to the Tudors, with the thrill of romance thrown in. Interesting inclusion of charms and curses used by the female descendents of the water goddess and how even political stronghorses feared these women's powers. An added bonus is the mystery of the 2 princes in the tower, the attempted rescue of them, and a theory of what really happened that conflicts with Londoners' generally held belief that their Uncle Richard had them killed in order to put himself on the throne.
A very action-packed story compared to most of Gregory's other "queen" novels. Makes me think this one could be made into a movie next!
