Historical | Fiction
In fourteenth-century England, beautiful Queen Isabella - humiliated by her weak, unfaithful husband - is emerging from the shadows to take her revenge. But her newly arrived, twenty-one year-old Welsh handmaiden, Gwenith de Percy, also seeks vengeance - against the English invaders who crushed her beloved Wales. Isabella's once-golden marriage is now her penance. Due to his rumored relations with men, Parliament forced Edward to share his throne - a demeaning arrangement that torments Isabella. With the help of her secret, noble lover, Roger Mortimer - an enemy of her husband, imprisoned in the Tower of London- the queen plots to take control. Thrilled by this turn of events, Gwenith realizes that a king cannot afford to be weak - especially when his formidable, discontented queen seeks his power as her due.
