An auspicious match, an invitation to war. Historical Novel Society
Editor's Choice 'Picking up an Elizabeth Chadwick novel you know
you are in for a sumptuous ride' Daily Telegraph * England, 1238
Raised at the court of King Henry III as a chamber lady to the
queen, young Joanna of Swanscombe's life changes forever when she
comes into an inheritance far above all expectations, including her
own. Now a wealthy heiress, Joanna's arranged marriage to the
King's charming, tournament-loving half-brother William de Valence
immediately stokes the flames of political unrest as more
established courtiers object to the privileges bestowed on
newcomers. As Joanna and William strive to build a life together,
England descends into a bitter civil war. In mortal danger, William
is forced to run for his life, and Joanna is left with only her wit
and courage to outfox their enemies and prevent them from
destroying her husband, her family, and their fortunes. 'Elizabeth
Chadwick has taken the few facts known about Joanna's life and
turned them into a rich, detailed portrait of a woman attempting to
survive brutal court politics.' The Times * Praise for Elizabeth
Chadwick 'An author who makes history come gloriously alive' The
Times 'Stunning . . . Her characters are beguiling, and the story
is intriguing' Barbara Erskine 'I rank Elizabeth Chadwick with such
historical novelist stars as Dorothy Dunnett and Anya Seton' Sharon
Kay Penman 'Enjoyable and sensuous' Daily Mail 'Meticulous research
and strong storytelling' Woman & Home 'A riveting read . . . A
glorious adventure not to be missed!' Candis
