Description

Eleanor of Aquitaine's story is one of legend, but the real woman behind the icon remains elusive. Now, bestselling novelist Elizabeth Chadwick brings her magnificent tale to life, as never before, with meticulous research and strong storytelling.

Based on the most up-to-date research, Eleanor's story is one of scandal, politics, sex, triumphs and tragedies. From her privileged childhood as the heiress to wealthy Aquitaine, to her forced marriage to the young prince Louis of France, Eleanor must navigate the complex and faction-riddled French court, all at just 13 years old.

The result is a stunning and intriguing tale, full of the author's signature sensuousness and beguiling characters. The first novel in a trilogy, The Summer Queen sets the stage for a captivating story that will keep you turning the pages.
