The Heart of the Lion (Volume 1)

One woman's courage will decide the fate of the English crown. The English countryside roils in the throes of political upheaval as King Richard the Lionheart sails from defeat in the Holy Lands. His kingdom teeters on the verge of yet another bloody war-- this one against his own blood. To the victor goes the crown ... with death to the vanquished. Waylaid and stranded on the continent, Richard must evade capture from his enemies, forcing Princess Joanna and Queen Eleanor to thwart Prince John's play to usurp the throne. The Heart of the Lion whisks you away to a time long past and places far away, where thundering hooves, clanking swords, passion, and above all else, courage ruled the day.
