Description
When Henry V dies, his nine-month-old son becomes King of England. Two uncles, the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester, vie for power to shape the young king's future.
In turbulent 15th-century England and war-torn France, three women's lives intersect with the fate of the monarchy. Katherine de Valois finds love in unexpected ways, while Joan of Arc is driven by heavenly voices from her village. Meanwhile, Eleanor of Gloucester becomes embroiled in a murder plot that draws her into a cause célèbre.
As ambition, greed, and sacrifice collide, these women's stories become intertwined with the tumultuous history of the Lancastrian dynasty. Their lives are marked by courage, dedication, and the consequences of their actions.
