In AD 1135. When Henry I of England passed away and the church bells tolled, his barons had to deal with the unpleasant possibility that Maude, the Countess of Anjou, Henry's stunning daughter, might take over as ruler. However, Stephen, Maude's cousin, took the kingdom before Maude could. England as a whole burnt and bled throughout their protracted and painful conflict.
The amazing fifth book by Sharon Kay Penman brings to life a wonderful medieval tragedy, whose unfolding crushes the heart while paving the path for future splendors, such as the golden period of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Plantagenets who would soon light up the globe.
