Description
She came to England expecting chivalry and courtly grace. What she found was betrayal, corruption, and a king more interested in his favorite than his kingdom.
Isabella of France, the daughter of kings, became a queen stripped of her lands, wealth, and dignity—left to navigate a treacherous court and a husband whose obsession with Hugh Despenser threatened to ruin the realm.
But Isabella is no pawn. Sent to France to negotiate homage, she instead forms a forbidden alliance and a secret affair. She also crafts a daring plan to challenge the very men who seek to control her and to secure England’s future for her son, the heir to the throne.
A tale of courage, forbidden romance, and the pursuit of justice, The Queen Among Kings traces a queen’s rise from powerless exile to the architect of her own—and England’s—destiny.
