Series: Isabella & Ferdinand Trilogy

The first novel in Jean Plaidy's captivating Spanish Trilogy

The first book in the captivating Spanish Trilogy, focusing on the remarkable lives of Spain's most famous monarchs.

In the 15th Century, Spain is full of intrigue and threatened by civil war. The independent young princess Isabella has become the pawn of her ambitious, half-crazed mother, kept as a virtual prisoner at the sordid court of her half-brother, France's Henry IV.

Just sixteen years old, all seems lost- is Isabella 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 womanisers in Castile?

Numbed with grief and fear, Isabella holds onto one cherished hope- that one day, she will escape her tormentors and marry Ferdinand, the handsome young Prince of Aragon - her only true betrothed. But the forces of Europe are ranged against them, and love's triumphs are rare...
