Description

Book Synopsis

Leaving France behind to become Queen of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine has a new cast of enemies--including her own husband, in the next book by New York Times bestselling author, Elizabeth Chadwick

Ever since her marriage to Louis VII of France was annulled, Eleanor has more than fulfilled her duty as Queen of England--she has given her husband, Henry II, heirs to the throne and has proven herself as a mother and ruler. But Eleanor needs more than to be a bearer of children and a deputy; she needs command of the throne.

As her children grow older, and her relationship with Henry suffers from scandal and infidelity, Eleanor realizes she must take the crown for herself if she ever wants to become the powerful woman she's destined to be. But even a queen must face the consequences of treason...

Chadwick's meticulous research portrays the Middle Ages and Eleanor with depth and vivid imagery unparalleled in historical fiction and captures readers in a web of intrigue they won't want to escape.

In the second book in the Eleanor of Aquitaine trilogy, a royal marriage where love and hatred are intertwined and a battle for power fraught with deception create a riveting story of medieval fiction sure to mesmerize.

The Eleanor of Aquitaine Trilogy:

The Summer Queen (Book 1)

The Winter Crown (Book 2)

The Autumn Throne (Book 3)

Review Quotes

"A fabulous, engrossing and rollicking read that takes the reader into the very heart of the Angevin royal court with all of its schemes, plots and drama... This is a brilliant book and a veritable treat for fans of historical fiction - Elizabeth Chadwick's writing creates a vividly compelling and richly flamboyant Medieval world that readers can really immerse themselves in." -- Madame Guillotine

"Elizabeth Chadwick still manages to weave a gripping story which I found unputdownable. Her characters, both the real and the imagined minor ones, live and breathe and have distinct personalities of their own... Highly recommended." -- Historical Novel Society

"Moving, touching and historically accurate - a marvelous read for Chadwick fans. 4 1/2 Stars" -- RT Book Reviews
