Born to an unwed mother who abandons her as a baby, Rowan grows up possessing the strange ability to glimpse the future: births, deaths, fires, floods--and the rise to power of Henry Tudor. She is plunged into the dangerous intrigues that swirl around the king's divorce, attracting the malice of a churchman eager to advance his career by having her tried for witchcraft. The only way to prove her innocence is to delve into the mystery of her mother's disappearance--a trail that leads to the highest levels of the English aristocracy and to secrets never meant to be revealed. Second Sight is based on Mother Shipton, the famous Witch of York, a soothsayer who foretold events far in the future, including the Great London Fire, the wreck of the Spanish Armada, and the carnage of World War I.
