Book details
Overview
Elizabeth adroitly avoids marriage after her father leaves
on crusade with King Richard, but England is soon in a dangerous state of
anarchy with Prince John in rebellion. She discovers that what begins as a daring folly traps her in a
deadly game in a man's world, where an unwary heiress is a
disposable commodity. The sardonic Sir Luke is not above bloodshed and abduction
when required, but is he friend or foe?
Description
King Richard the Lionheart is on crusade, and his treacherous brother is not slow to see the possibilities. It's a fight for power by marriage or murder, whichever is most convenient, and the Lady Elizabeth discovers that an heiress is a desirable pawn in a man's world. The sardonic Sir Luke fights for Eleanor of Aquitaine, but he's not above bloodshed and abduction on his own account when required. Twice rescued by Sir Luke, Elizabeth find him attractive, but discovers he can be as arrogant as the next crusading knight. The book entwines strands of action, adventure and romance, painting a vivid picture of mediaeval life in King Richard the Lionheart's reign. This book is a gripping read, and one to curl up with in a well-cushioned window-seat.
