______________ 'Chadwick has excelled herself. This terrific novel
is packed with action, emotion, politics and passion' Sunday
Express on The Irish Princess 'Elizabeth Chadwick is an excellent
chronicler of royal intrigue... Fascinating' Times on The Irish
Princess ______________ Her father's only daughter. Her country's
only hope. Ireland, 1152 The King of Leinster, awaiting news of his
newborn child, is disappointed to hear he has a daughter. Diarmait
MacMurchada wanted another strapping son to shoulder a spear, wield
a sword, and protect his kingdom. But the moment Diarmait holds
tiny Aoife in his arms, he realised she would be his most precious
treasure. 1166 Forced into exile Aoife and her family find
themselves at the mercy of Henry II. Aoife - aware of her beauty
but not its power - intrigues and beguiles Henry in equal measure.
He agrees to help her father, an alliance that leads the
MacMurchadas to the charismatic Richard de Clare, a man
dissatisfied with his lot and open to new horizons. Diarmit
promises Richard Aoife's hand in marriage in return for his aid in
Ireland, but Aoife has her own thoughts on the matter. She may be a
prize, but she is not a pawn, and she will play the men at their
own game. For herself, for her family, and for her country. From
the royal halls of scheming kings, to staunch Welsh border
fortresses and the wild green kingdoms of Ireland, The Irish
Princess is a sumptuous, journey of ambition and desire, love and
loss, heartbreak and survival. 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 'Picking up an Elizabeth Chadwick novel you know
you are in for a sumptuous ride' Daily Telegraph '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
