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.
