'An author who makes history come gloriously alive' The Times
'Meticulous research and strong storytelling' Woman & Home 'A
sumptuous ride' Toby Clements, Daily Telegraph
********************** Eleanor of Aquitaine A loving mother. A
betrayed wife. A queen beyond compare. Eleanor of Aquitaine's story
is legendary. She is an icon who has fascinated readers for over
eight hundred years. But the real Eleanor remains elusive - until
now. Based on the most up-to-date research, bestselling novelist
Elizabeth Chadwick brings Eleanor's magnificent story to life, as
never before. Young, vibrant, privileged, Eleanor's future is
golden as the heiress to wealthy Aquitaine. But when her beloved
father dies suddenly in the summer of 1137, her childhood ends
abruptly. Forced to marry the young prince Louis of France, Eleanor
is still struggling to adjust to her new role when Louis' father
dies and they become King and Queen of France. Leaving everything
behind, the vivacious Eleanor must face the complex and
faction-riddled French court. She is only 13. Overflowing with
scandal, politics, sex, triumphs and tragedies, The Summer Queen is
the first novel in a stunning trilogy from award-winning and
much-loved author Elizabeth Chadwick The next two books - The
Winter Crown and The Autumn Throne - are available to buy NOW in
paperback and ebook. Praise for Elizabeth Chadwick 'Enjoyable and
sensuous' Daily Mail 'Stunning grasp of historical details... Her
characters are beguiling and the story is intriguing and very
enjoyable' Barbara Erskine 'Renowned historical novelist Chadwick
tells this battle-of-the-sexes story from a woman's point of view'
