Well, that answers one mystery- the current Joanna Wayne is not the right one!

Does anyone know who The King's Vengeance by Philippa Wiat is about?

I see that Tanzanite and Ariadne have added it on Library Thing, so perhaps either of them might be able to help?

Thanks, ladies! I have a weakness for acquiring old Tudor-era historical fiction. The few Wiats I have are decidedly strange.
