Romance Historical
Eleanor of Aquitaine seized hold of life in the 12th
century in a way any modern woman would envy!
1151: As Duchess of Aquitaine, Eleanor grew up knowing
what it was to be regarded for herself and not for her
husband's title. Now, as wife to Louis VII and Queen of
France, she has found herself unsatisfied with reflected
glory-and feeling constantly under threat, even though she
outranks every woman in Paris. Then, standing beside
her much older husband in the course of a court ceremony,
Eleanor locks eyes with a man-hardly more than a boy,
really- across the throne room, and knows that her world
has changed irrevocably... He is Henry D'Anjou, eldest
son of the Duke of Anjou, and he is in line, somewhat
tenuously, for the British throne. She meets him in
secret. She has a gift for secrecy, for she is watched
like a prisoner by spies even among her own women. She is
determined that Louis must set her free. Employing
deception and disguise, seduction and manipulation,
Eleanor is determined to find her way to power-and make
her mark on history.
