A historical adventure full of romance, drama, murder and intrigue. Rebel. Prisoner. Princess. When the crown prince of Lyonesse is assassinated, his fiery daughter, Catherine, is taken to Aquitaine, where she is raised at the royal court and given two ladies-in-waiting to protect her from all who conspire against her. Now that the time has come for Catherine to return to Lyonesse, she finds herself surrounded by enemies. Danger lies around every corner, but Catherine will not stop until she has overcome her oppressors and taken what is rightfully hers. She may just live to claim her crown. Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Catherine of Lyonesse is an irresistible historical romance.
