From the author of The King's Concubine & Virgin Widow comes another slice of epic historical scandal...
An innocent pawn. A kingdom for the taking. A new dynasty will reign...
1415 Katherine de Valois, the jewel in the French crown. An innocent locked up by her mother, Queen Isabeau, and kept pure as a prize for the English king slaughtering her kinsmen on the battlefields of Agincourt. No matter the cost, Isabeau is determined to deliver Katherine into the loveless arms of Henry V. But the Valois blood is worth less than she had brokered. Henry will take Katherine, not for her beauty, not for a treaty of peace - for nothing less than the glittering French crown itself. For Katherine, a pawn in a ruthless political game, England is a lion s den of greed, avarice and mistrust. And when the magnificent King leaves her widowed at twenty-one she is a prize ripe for the taking. Her enemies are circling, her heart is on her sleeve, her hand in marriage is worth a kingdom.
This is a deadly game. The players Duke of Gloucester, Edmund Beaufort and Owen Tudor. Who will have her? Who will stop her? This is the story of Katherine de Valois. England s most coveted prize. The forbidden queen who launched the most famous dynasty of all time...
