A novel about the ill-fated and often tragic loves of kings. Title and crown condemn people to anguish of soul, misfortune, intrigue, and marital infidelity… Chivalry and the Crusades are the primary subject of interest for Canadian author Molly Haycroft. Her characters — most often women of the highest society, companions of the powerful — instantly capture the reader's attention. They live and feel, suffer and find the happiness of true love, reducing the historical backdrop of the narrative to nothing more than the canvas for the only drama that truly matters: the drama of human relationships.
