Romance Historical
Amid the lush valleys and fragrant wildflowers of Provence, Marguerite, ElΓ©onore, Sanchia, and Beatrice have learned to charm, hunt, dance, and debate under the careful tutelage of their ambitious motherβand to abide by the countessβs motto: βFamily comes first.β With Provence under constant attack, their legacy and safety depend upon powerful alliances. Margueriteβs illustrious match with the young King Louis IX makes her Queen of France. Soon ElΓ©onoreβindependent and daringβis betrothed to Henry III of England. In turn, shy, devout Sanchia and tempestuous Beatrice wed noblemen who will also make them queens. Yet a crown is no guarantee of protection. Enemies are everywhere, from Margueriteβs duplicitous mother-in-law to vengeful lovers and land-hungry barons. Then there are the dangers that come from within, as loyalty succumbs to bitter sibling rivalry, and sister is pitted against sister for the prize each believes is rightfully hersβ Provence itself. From the treacherous courts of France and England, to the bloody tumult of the Crusades, Sherry Jones traces the extraordinary true story of four fascinating sisters whose passions, conquests, and progeny shaped the course of history.
