Joanβs mother is Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, the most beautiful woman in the world. Her father is Henry II, the king of England and a renowned military leader. She loves them bothβso what is she to do when sheβs forced to choose between them? As her parentsβ arguments grow ever more vicious, Joan begins to feel like a political pawn. When her parents marry her off to the king of Sicily, Joan finds herself stuck with a man ten years her senior. She doesnβt love her husband, and she canβt quite forget her childhood crush, the handsome Lord Raymond. As Joan grows up, she begins to understand that her parentsβ worldview is warped by their political ambitions, and hers, in turn, has been warped by theirs. Is it too late to figure out whom to trust? And, more importantly, whom to love?
