Book description
With fifteen-century Spain rent with intrigue and threatened by civil
war, Isabella became the pawn of her ambitious, half-crazed mother and
a virtual prisoner at the licentious court of her half-brother, Henry
IV.
Was she, at sixteen, fated to be the victim of the Queen's revenge,
the Archbishop's ambition and the lust of Don Pedro Giron, one of the
most notorious lechers in Castile?
Numbed with grief and fear, Isabella yet remained steadfast in her
determination to marry Ferdinand, the handsome young Prince of Aragon,
her only true betrothed ...
