The third volume in the saga of Hollywood executive Robyn Stafford, transplanted by witchcraft to the Wars of the Roses and ennobled, heightens the tension. Lady Robyn of Pontefract is, by magic, traveling both back and forth in time and across Europe. But there is no magic to disarm her enemies or bring peace to England. On the other hand, she now carries the child of Edward, Earl of March (who will be King Edward IV), and her only sometimes ditsy assistant, Heidi, goes back in time with her to save Robyn's and her own life by using her gift of lechery on Owen Tudor (not the only high-powered sex scene in the book). Abundant historical detail contributes to such compelling scenes as Robyn fighting a duel in drag and witnessing the Battle of Mortimer's Cross. With characterization equally compelling, this is a time-travel romance on the level of Gabaldon's Outlander series. So newcomers should retreat to Lady Robyn (2001) and Knight Errant (2002) and enjoy, enjoy. Roland Green.
