Unicorn's Blood - Softcover

"Swiftly moving and deftly woven, this courtly tale is as engrossing as it is improbable--and thus all the more delightful." --The New York Times Book Review

"An accomplished historical thriller...Finney's fictional meditations on Elizabeth's iconic womanhood not only bring Elizabeth alive--they make England's greatest queen an object of sympathy and even identification." --Publishers Weekly

"In all, a roaring good tale, with a poetic sensibility and judicious sense of humanity at its core." --Kirkus Reviews

"A peerless period novel, Unicorn's Blood is worth a queen's ransom. To paraphrase the Bard: excellence, they name is Finney." --Orlando Sentinel

"Masterfully written and researched...a witty, brilliant, hot-blooded tale." --Portsmouth Herald

"Brilliant, original and wonderfully written." --Women's Review of Books
