THE LONG-AWAITED AND HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FINAL VOLUME IN PENMAN'S TRILOGY OF HENRY II ABD EKEABR IF AQUITAINE - A TUMULTUOUS STORY OF A KING, HIS QUEEN AND THEIR WAR-THORN FAMILY
Devil's Blood has at its heart the implosion of a family, a story of devastating betrayal as King Henry II's three eldest sons and his wife Eleanor enter into a rebellion against him, aligning themselves with his most bitter enemy, King Louis of France. It is also the story of a great king whose brilliance forged an empire but whose personal blind spots led him to he most serious misjudgement of his life.
Sharon Penman has created a novel of immense power and range, bringing Henry and Eleanor's world to life in a brilliant and uniquely vivid way. As two strong-willed, passionate people clash, a family divides, and a marriage ends in all but name, an unforgettable trilogy reached its conclusion. Devil's Brood is a novel without villains - only flawed human beings caught up in a cycle of mistrust and misunderstanding that has more devastating and far-reaching consequence than they could ever have imagined.
