A historical novel of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine and the
one person she loved more than power-her rival for the throne.
At only nine, Princess Alais of France is sent to live in England
until she is of age to wed Prince Richard, son of King Henry II and
Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Alais is an innocent pawn on the
chessboard of dynastic marriage, her betrothal intended to broker
an uneasy truce between the nations.
Estranged from her husband, Eleanor sees a kindred spirit in this
determined young girl. She embraces Alais as a daughter, teaching
the princess what it takes to be a woman of power in a world of
men. But as Alais grows to maturity and develops ambitions of her
own, Eleanor begins to see her as a threat-and their love for each
other becomes overshadowed by their bitter rivalry, dark betrayals,
conflicting passions, and a battle for revenge over the throne of
England itself.
