**********************
Eleanor of Aquitaine
A loving mother. A betrayed wife. A queen beyond compare.
1154
Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful women in Europe, is crowned queen of England beside her young husband Henry II. While Henry battles their enemies and lays his plans, Eleanor is an adept acting ruler and mother to their growing brood of children. But she yearns for more than this - if only Henry would listen.
Instead, Henry pushes Eleanor to the sidelines, involving himself with a young mistress and denying Eleanor her rightful authority. As matters reach a crisis, Eleanor becomes caught up in a family rebellion. And even a queen must face the consequences of treason...
Award-winning author Elizabeth Chadwick continues the fascinating story of a queen fighting for her rightful place in a world of divided loyalties and passionate betrayals.
The first and last books in this trilogy - The Summer Queen and The Autumn Throne - are available to buy NOW in paperback and ebook.
Praise for Elizabeth Chadwick
'Enjoyable and sensuous' Daily Mail

Praise for The Winter Crown
-
Unputdownable. Elizabeth Chadwick weaves a gripping story. Her characters live and breathe and have distinct personalities of their own. The pace keeps the reader turning the pages, and the sadness of reaching the final page is only offset by the knowledge that there is another book to come. - Historical Novel Society
-
I have been an ardent fan of this author for many years and look forward with keen anticipation to the third book in this trilogy. Highly recommended. - Historical Novel Society
