<DIV><B>Against the seething political intrigues of twelfth-century Europe, two royal heirs surrender to passion as they vie for the English throne.</B><BR /> &#160;</DIV><DIV>At nine, Maud, an English princess, was sent to Germany to become the bride of the Holy Roman Emperor&mdash;a political alliance with a man her father&rsquo;s age. At twenty-five, the widowed Maud must marry once again, this time to fourteen-year-old Geoffrey Plantagenet. But it is with Stephen of Blois, Maud&rsquo;s fiercest rival for the British throne, that the headstrong princess discovers the true meaning of desire.&#160;&#160;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>Stephen, a descendant of William the Conqueror, believes absolutely in his God-given right to rule. Torn between his illicit passion for Maud and his own towering ambition, he knows he must choose. Stephen&rsquo;s decision will wrench him from the arms of the woman he loves, ignite civil war, and lead to a shattering act of betrayal that, decades later, will come full circle and change the course of English history.</DIV>
