Lucrezia Borgia: A Study by Joan Haslip (Women Who Made History series)

Read all about it here! The last generation of the powerful Borgia family comes to life in these pages.

Blood Trillium by Julian May

This sequel to "Black Trillium" features the three princesses - Haramis, the intellectual and spiritual one, Kadiya, the wild and courageous one, and Anigel, the youngest and sweetest princess. Each of the princesses hold a powerful talisman - a bud of the long-extinct black trillium.

I have the first - Black Trillium - so, when I came across the sequel, it was a no-brainer. Now I realise that there is three more in the series - Golden Trillium, Lady of the Trillium, Sky Trillium.
