Description

The Irish Princess by Elizabeth Chadwick In 1152, the birth of a daughter to the King of Leinster is met with disappointment, as the monarch had hoped for a son to inherit his kingdom. However, the newborn Aoife is soon to become her father's most precious treasure. As fate would have it, Aoife and her family are forced into exile, at the mercy of Henry II. Aoife's beauty and charm soon capture the attention of Henry, who agrees to help her father in exchange for an alliance. This leads to the introduction of Richard de Clare, a charismatic and dissatisfied nobleman open to new horizons. Aoife, aware of her beauty but not its power, begins to play the men at their own game, determined to secure her own future and that of her family and country. A sumptuous and thrilling tale of ambition, desire, love, loss, heartbreak, and survival, The Irish Princess takes the reader on a journey through the royal halls of scheming kings, the wild green kingdoms of Ireland, and the staunch Welsh border fortresses.
