Mistress of the Maze: The Legend of Rosamund Clifford

Fair Rosamund, one of the most famous royal mistresses of all time—concubine to Henry II, the first Plantagenet King.  A maiden ruled by a grasping father who will stop at nothing to promote his own cause with the King, even using his daughter's beautiful face and enticing body to gain high favour.  A fearful girl taken by a mysterious messenger from Godstow nunnery to a Tower surrounded by a grotesque topiary labyrinth, where she must wait for the arrival of the master of the maze—not the Minotaur of ancient Greek myth but the bull-like Plantagenet King Henry.
