Slideshow of Castles from Devil's Brood
In this gripping tale of passion, politics and conflict,
King Henry II finds himself brutally betrayed by his wife Eleanor and three
eldest sons when they enter into a rebellion against him. Aligning themselves
with Henry's most bitter enemy, King Louis of France, their treacherous actions
will have devastating consequences as they bring about the downfall of a
brilliant man and a powerful empire.
In Devil's Brood, the compelling story of Henry and Eleanor's once great
love affair is explored in an uniquely vivid way. What twists of fate turn love
to hatred? What points of principle and ambition cause these two icons to
struggle for power, leaving their family tragically divided and their turbulent
marriage finished in all but name?
Sharon Penman's glorious trilogy reaches its spellbinding conclusion.
