She came to England expecting chivalry and courtly grace. What she found was betrayal, corruption, and a king more interested in favorites than his kingdom…
Isabella of France, the daughter of kings, becomes a queen stripped of lands, wealth, and influence—left to navigate a treacherous court and a husband whose obsession with Hugh Despenser threatens to ruin the kingdom.
But Isabella is no ordinary pawn. With intelligence, courage, and a heart tempered by love and loss, she gathers allies in secret, forms a daring plan, and challenges the very men who seek to control her. Her cause is not only her own survival, but the future of her son, the heir to England’s throne.
A tale of cunning strategy, forbidden romance, and the relentless pursuit of justice, The Queen Among Kings traces a queen’s rise from powerless exile to masterful architect of her own—and England’s—destiny.
