Historical
The critically acclaimed author of The King's Mistress brings another
fascinating woman from history to life in an enthralling story of political
intrigue, personal tragedy, and illicit love.
Joan of Kent, renowned beauty and cousin to King Edward III, is destined for a
politically strategic marriage. As the king begins a long dynastic struggle to
claim the crown of France, plunging England into the Hundred Years’ War, he
negotiates her betrothal to a potential ally and heir of a powerful lordship.
But Joan, haunted by nightmares of her father’s execution at the hands of her
treacherous royal kin, fears the king’s selection and is not resigned to her
fate. She secretly pledges herself to one of the king’s own knights, one who
has become a trusted friend and protector. Now she must defend her vow as the
king—furious at Joan’s defiance—prepares to marry her off to another man.
In A Triple Knot, Emma Campion brings Joan, the “Fair Maid of Kent” to glorious
life, deftly weaving details of King Edward III’s extravagant court into a rich
and emotionally resonant tale of intrigue, love, and betrayal.
