Fans of Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, Sharon Kay Penman, and Bernard Cornwall will take pleasure in this well-crafted story of a vibrant, noble woman in a tyrant's world.\nMore Novels of Elizabeth Chadwick's William Marshal:\nThe Greatest Knight\nThe Scarlet Lion\nFor the King's Favor\nTemplar Silks\nTo Defy a King\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1402250894\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1402250894.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Chadwick, Elizabeth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
