The story of a great queen, a woman of enormous courage who made
her own rules, and a true survivor. This is the first in a series
of late medieval novels by Vanora Bennett, the author of Portrait
of an Unknown Woman. 1420, and a young princess is offered in
marriage to her country's enemy, her nation's conqueror. She is
Catherine of Valois, he is Henry V. She is a princess of the French
blood royal, he is the son of the usurper of the English throne.
Fresh from battle he claims his bride and the right to the throne
of France. Now Catherine must live as queen to a man more
comfortable with war than anything else and as the wife of a man
determined to destroy her people. Alone and friendless, she finds
the only man who can understand what she feels: a young Welshman,
Owain Tudor, who is as much adrift among the English as she is.
It's a matching of souls but this friendship will turn out to be as
dangerous as it is irresistible...
