The Queen's Man by Sharon Kay Penman

4.0

I've read most of Sharon Kay Penman's Welsh trilogy and loved her character building and world descriptions. I've yet to read a better author for rendering medieval Britain with so much life.

Justin de Quincy is the illegitimate child of the Bishop of Chester and through a bizarre series of events, ends up "the Queen's man" - a spy for Queen Eleanor as she struggles to hold the country together in the name of her son Richard.

Full of great characters, amazing period detail and a fascinating hero, this is a series not to be missed!
