Sixteenth-century Tudor England. A time of intrigue and chaos, with a country ruled by a cruel and determined monarch. In Henry VIII’s court a rise to favour can easily be followed by a fatal fall from grace. Four Seymour children of Wolff Hall stand upon Merlin’s Mound, said to be able to grant wishes, and make ambitious claims for their futures. Edward, the eldest, wishes to own all the land he surveys. Thomas, rakish and carefree, wishes to marry the highest woman in the land. Elizabeth, their half-gypsy cousin, cunningly wishes for the wisdom of Merlin. And lastly Jane, their plain but romantic sister, wishes that she will one day marry a king. The four Seymour lives will be inextricably bound with the reign of the ruthless King Henry VIII and his sometimes equally perilous passions and hatreds. Each of them will find their childish wish granted – but at what price? All will be at the mercy of the King’s bloody reign and victims of their own ambitions as they strive to further the Seymour cause and believe that happiness can be found in power… ‘Pour the Dark Wine’ is a thrilling and superbly written historical novel charting the perilous climb of the Seymours in Henry VIII’s court. ‘A cracking good plot’ – The Times Deryn Lake started to write stories at the age of five then graduated to novels but destroyed all her early work because, she says, it was hopeless. A chance meeting with one of the Getty family took her to Sutton Place and her first serious novel was born. Deryn was married to a journalist and writer, the late L. F. Lampitt, has two grown-up children and lives in Mayfield, Sussex, with two large cats. She is also the author of ‘Sutton Place’, ‘To Sleep No More’, ‘The King’s Women’ and ‘As Shadows Haunting’. Endeavour Press is the UK’s leading independent publisher of digital books.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Not Just Another Tudor Novel By mhv271 I really enjoyed this version of events in the life of Henry VIII. The story was told from the viewpoint of the Seymour family, beginning primarily with Jane and then moving on to the rest of the family after her death. The story was tied together by the character of an illegitimate cousin who is half gypsy and can foretell the future. In the past I have avoided stories about Jane as I always found her to be boring and washed out when compared to the personalities of Henry's other wives. In this book, however, she is portrayed as a surprisingly passionate woman who knows she is plain but develops other qualities to make herself more interesting. I liked her quite a bit! Having read most of the historical fiction out there about the Tudors, it was refreshing to read this version of events.

Dear Tudor history enthusiasts, By Just a friend Pour yourself a nice cup of tea, curl up in a favorite chair and enjoy this excellent historical novel. Wonderfully written, it seamlessly weaves fictional characters and events with historical ones. It is one of the best of this genre I have read in a long while.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. History, magic, and a whole lot of flowers By Amazon Customer The author must love gardens, flowers, the moon and nature because at least half of this book is filler and descriptions of nature and weather abound on nearly every page. If the author isn't describing nature then she's describing people's eyes as cornflowers and things like that. It made the book much, much longer than it needed to be. Also it was kind of jarring that with no warning the author will skip months or years from one paragraph to the next. If you can ignore all that, it's a pretty decent book. I liked the creativity of adding magic to the story and the addition of the interesting characters of cloverella and dr. Zachary. I liked that the author gave jane Seymour some interesting characteristics, because most usually don't. I didn't really like the deformity given to Elizabeth and I think that if she had no womanly parts it would have been noticed when she was born or at an early age. I probably would not recommend this to someone who knows nothing about Tudor history, just because if the confusion of the timeline issues and all of the nature descriptions but it's worth a read if you know your history and are looking for something a little different and creative.
