What happens when the world's worst shrew meets the world's most formidable warrior? Mirrored Sword, a romantic comedy as black as the Plague, as turbulent as the Wars of the Roses! She is an aspiring painter and devoted Yorkist. He is the legendary but ageing Beast of Ferrybridge - a Lancastrian stalwart. Rebellion in Lincolnshire throws them together, the Yorkist king keeps them together, and thus they must work out their destinies and the kingdom's, in an epic story that combines laughter and tears, romance and adventure, history and make-believe, high art and vulgar entertainment, all the while juggling with psychological complexities, family relationships, religious themes and questions about love and loyalty: a medieval banquet, loaded with surprises, colourful characters and poetic justice. Part One, The Dance, is a journey from Lincolnshire to London, where he goes in search of a fool brother, and she goes in quest of a royal romance, the story careering through a series of revealing encounters, climaxing in treachery and mayhem at Baynard Castle, the king's London home. Suspense builds like a roller coaster ride, preparing to unleash the topsy-turvy twists and turns of Part Two, The Tour.
