At the height of the Middle Ages in the 14th century, King Edward III of England is determined to use any means necessary to expand his power and gain control of England's bitter rival, France. His own son, Edward, prince of Wales, is far from immune from his political plans. And when Joan of Kent, now free from exile, sees her chance for revenge, she takes it. A calculated plot to scandalize the royal family for revenge for her father's downfall and execution soon turns into the most surprising thing: love.

I was very interested at first to read about this character, and I’m a lover of historical fiction, so by no means was I expecting a completely factual account. However I found myself sleeping while listening to this more times than I can count. So many details about the fashion, architecture, food, scenery, etc. It truly felt like the book could have been much shorter and therefore more engaging. I only finished it to make it worth starting.
