A Secret Chronicle — Jane Lane

Joanna, exiled daughter of the king, has commissioned a secret chronicle, and ordered the writer to go to Britain to unearth what happened to her father and his supporters. What is discovered reveals a sordid history of duplicity, cruel intention and a horrific plot born from a medieval struggle for power. Using sixteen written accounts from survivors, Jane Lane brings this fascinating and gruesome true story to life.
