The Lady of the Rivers

I love the entire Plantagenet and Tudor series, but the added element of witchcraft and magic makes this book so much more interesting than the other books in the series. Jacquetta, high-born, descended from Melusina, the water goddess, with the gift of The Sight, is a fascinating character. She is an also a very smart woman who learns to survive in the unpredictable world of Medieval English Court, where even a whisper of womanly powers can lead one to the stake. And she is lucky in love, which is always a pleasure to read. A tale of the Wheel of Fortune in all its glory.    (The Wheel of Fortune that can throw you up very high or bring you forth very low - “... they draw a circle in the air with their forefinger when something very good or something very bad happens.” - Its message is to be indifferent to victory and defeat, as they both come on the turn of the Wheel.
