From Scientific American
The finest living writer of historical fiction.
Once an accused traitor, now a valued, if reluctant, agent of Scottish diplomacy, Lymond is sent to France, to protect a very young Queen Mary Stuart, who is being groomed for marriage to the dauphin. Disguised as a disreputable Irish scholar, Lymond insinuates himself into the glittering labyrinth of the French court, where every courtier is a would-be conspirator.

Once you start with the Lymond series, you will either find it too difficult to follow and will put it down, never to pick it up again, or…. you will sink into the most intricately drawn picture of a fictitous character ever attempted. Once in, you’ll never want to leave. You will be shocked by many things Lymond does, but you will find that you will understand in the end. You will also never meet greater evil than in this series – and I can’t even give you the name of the character, since that would spoil the moment. Rarely do I sit up straight and experience a sharp intake in breath while reading a description of an event – you will do so every 20 pages or so. Don’t be fooled into thinking the Niccolo series will satisfy the longing for more of this series that you will experience – but you have 6 books to keep you happy for a while. Please – try the Lymond series, if hooked, you’ll be glad you did.
