Description
Set against the turbulent politics of twelfth-century England, this sweeping historical novel follows Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine as their powerful marriage and ambitious reign face mounting pressures. As Henry works to consolidate royal authority and Eleanor seeks to protect her influence and the interests of their children, court rivalries, family loyalties, and religious tensions threaten to divide them. Rich in historical detail and dramatic complexity, the novel explores power, love, betrayal, duty, and the costs of ruling in an age when personal and political fortunes were inseparable.
