Set in twelfth-century England and France, this sweeping historical novel follows Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their ambitious sons as a volatile royal family struggles for power, loyalty, and control of a divided realm.

Rich in historical detail and emotional complexity, the story explores the competing demands of love, duty, faith, and ambition within one of history’s most formidable families. It is a compelling portrait of a family whose passions and resentments could reshape the future of a kingdom.
