From HRH Princess Michael of Kent, bestselling author of The Queen of Four Kingdoms, comes the extraordinary second volume in the Anjou trilogy.
Yolande, the Queen of Four Kingdoms is dead. Agn s Sorel, beautiful, innocent, twenty years old, had arrived a year earlier with the court of Yolande's son, Ren D'Anjou, and remained with his mother at her request, knowing how much the King of France, her dissolute son-in-law Charles VII, would need wise guidance.
As a trusted confidant of Yolande, Agn s captivates everyone she meets, and in her role as a demoiselle to Ren 's wife, Isabelle of Lorraine, Agn s finds herself firmly ensconced in the royal court. Soon though, whispers at court regarding Charles's burgeoning feelings for her begin to grow, and despite her best efforts to resist, Agn s is alarmed to discover that she too is in love.
Plagued by guilt but unable to deny her feelings for the King, Agn s is forced to choose between her love for Charles, and her duty to herself . . .
