Court of the Midnight King a mixture of historical fact and fantasy.A lot of research went into the book, in fact this book was the one that made me question if Richard did order the death of his nephews, [the princes in the tower] and do some digging on my own.She paints a very different picture of Richard than the one school texts books and Shakespeare potray.She brings the tale of Richard III to life and gives it a nice twist.Its set in alternate reality.The tale is told from the view of one of Richard's servants,a pagan priestess, and the visions of a modern day history student.Very easy to lose yourself in.the history and fantasy blend very well and its easy to forget were one ends and the other begins.
If I try harder I could probably go in to more detail but it's a couple of year since I read it.
