Raised at the 13th century court of their father, the Count of Provence, Marguerite and Eleanor are separated by these royal marriages--but never truly parted. Marguerite is the more patient and perfect of the pair . . . used to being first. She wants to be a good wife and a good Queen, but her husband Louis IX of France is a religious zealot who denies himself the love and companionship his wife craves. Eleanor, on the other hand, is strong-willed and stubborn. When she becomes Queen of England, she quickly discovers that Henry III is a good man, but ill-suited to being a king.
Can Marguerite borrow enough of her sister's boldness to grasp her chance for happiness in a forbidden love? And can Eleanor stop competing with her sister and value what she has, or will she let it slip away? When sisters are involved all things are possible.
