Blood of Kings

- Davies presents a swashbuckling account of this most mysterious day...Characters are brought to life with a well-judged sprinkling of period detail [and] the momentum and memorability of his style. He also deserves credit for tackling an episode that is treacherously complicated, bedevilled by myths and conspiracy theories. Out of a morass of speculation, he not only creates a most readable tale, but produces new evidence from previously untapped archives, which he believes supports a raft of radical theories. - Scottish Review of Books
