Description
In the second book from the Eleanor of Aquitaine Series, as the blind seer from Antioch predicted, Eleanor marries the love of her life, Henry II of England. Passion rules the marriage as alpha male and alpha female compete for dominance. Meanwhile, to drag his war-torn kingdom back from the brink of anarchy, Henry must rely on the resources of the Eleanors Aquitaine. Marriage to the beautiful, intelligent Eleanor delivers Henry an empire from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Often, she must act as his regent in England while he tries to dampen dissent from across the Channel. Henry comes to fear that Eleanor is a more successful ruler. Only she can control the nobles of the Aquitaine, and, much to Henrys jealousy, she tames and enchants the rebellious Welsh king. Over ten years, Eleanor gives birth to nine children. Again, as foretold, many are sons, future competition for Henrys crown and his affection for their mother, which makes him an ambivalent father. T hen there is the ambitious Thomas Becket., who Eleanor suspects is the greatest threat of all to her regal plans...
