The End of History
R. Garcia y Robertson’s 1991 The Spiral Dance is a stand-alone historical fantasy.
Outraged by Tudor excess, Anne Percy, Countess of Northumberland and her vacillating husband Thomas Percy, the 7th Earl, launch what will be later known as the Northern Rebellion. Leading a rabble comprised of a poorly organized cross-section of the ungovernable north, the aristocratic couple march south to replace hateful Elizabeth with Mary, Queen of Scots. A great victory is assured!
But first, there’s the matter of the mad woman claiming to be Anne Percy, Countess of Northumberland.
