Like the ravens, Joan must use her eyes and her senses, as conspiracy whispers through the dark corridors of the Tower.Through Joan’s eyes, The Lady of the Ravens inhabits the squalid streets of Tudor London, the imposing walls of its most fearsome fortress and the glamorous court of a kingdom in crisis.
