I have a brand new copy of The Queen's Pawn by Christy English available for one lucky winner! This is a gratifying debut novel that will give you a look into the world of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the intrigue of medieval England.
Synopsis: (From the Publisher)
A historical novel of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine and the one person she loved more than power-her rival for the throne.At only nine, Princess Alais of France is sent to live in England until she is of age to wed Prince Richard, son of King Henry II and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Alais is an innocent pawn on the chessboard of dynastic marriage, her betrothal intended to broker an uneasy truce between the nations.
Estranged from her husband, Eleanor sees a kindred spirit in this determined young girl. She embraces Alais as a daughter, teaching the princess what it takes to be a woman of power in a world of men. But as Alais grows to maturity and develops ambitions of her own, Eleanor begins to see her as a threat-and their love for each other becomes overshadowed by their bitter rivalry, dark betrayals, conflicting passions, and a battle for revenge over the throne of England itself.

I agree that this looks very interesting, most royalty novels are about Marie Antoinette, about time someone else is featured :)
This one is on my Wish List! I'd love to win a copy. Thanks so much!

Eleanor of Acqitaine is one of my favorite historical figures -- a very determined woman who makes her mark on history in spite of the powerful and spiteful men who shape her life. So glad to see this book coming out -- powerful women both then and now need to be a part of our reading. Thanks for making this available . . . Dr. J . . .www.drjsbookplace.blogspot.com
