Nine-year-old Isabelle of Angouleme is betrothed to Hal, son of Hugh de Lusignan. She doesn't like him much but she's learning to gently manipulate those around her so she feels life will be interesting and rewarding. However with England's King Richard the Lionheart all changes. Isabelle will marry King John instead – a totally different prospect for all concerned. This is a match that will not only be a challenge for the young girl but will show her the true heart of her mother and the true art of political manoeuvring. Isabelle may be the pawn in all this but it's not a role she takes to willingly, despite the nightmares of the horned man and the occurrences of a certain May night that will haunt the rest of her life.

Further Reading: If this appeals, we also eagerly recommend Lisa's aforementioned [[Wolves in Winter by Lisa Hilton|Wolves in Winter]]. Read it already and are a fan of the history/imagination meld? [[The Gallow's Curse by Karen Maitland]] awaits. If you'd rather read more fiction around the life of King John, we suggest [[To Defy A King by Elizabeth Chadwick]].
