In this fictional tale set after the battle of Tewkesbury in 1471, Scott examines King Edward IV’s defeat of the Lancastrian party. The Earl of Oxford and his son embark on a secret mission to convert Charles the Bold to the Lancastrian cause. Joined by Swiss Countess Anne, a magician of sorts, they dodge certain death and face a revolution along the way.
