‘O’Brien cleverly intertwines the personal and political in this enjoyable, gripping tale.’
-The Times
Her children or her crown
France, 1399: The Duke of Brittany is dead and his widow, Joanna of Navarre, has inherited control of their land – a testament to her intellect, integrity and political prowess.
Then comes an unprecedented proposal from Henry IV, King of England. The price of becoming his Queen? Abandoning her homeland, leaving her children and sacrificing her independence.
Henry's hold on the crown is unsteady and war is brewing. With the constant threat of rebellion, Henry will trust no-one – not even his new Queen. Crossing the channel is a dangerous prospect. But the union between Joanna and Henry would bring the chance of a vital alliance between two proud states – if they will allow it.
One question. Two paths. A choice that will make history.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I really love historical novels and have heard quite a few but honestely found it hard to like this one. Beautifully narrated in my opinion I have to say but the problem for me was that I found it very hard to like Joanna of Navarre. She came across as too self-centered, selfish and over proud, and she had such a deluded view of herself! Irritating sometimes.Still I listen to whole audio book and am glad I did because I got more acquainted with this period of history. It served well my intention of putting a face on a historical character.

While the story itself may have been engaging, the poor narration made it a frustrating listening experience. I found myself constantly rewinding to try and discern who was speaking, which disrupted the flow and ultimately detracted from the overall impact of the novel.
