Katherine came to the court of Edward III at the age of 15: the orphan daughter of a minor herald, betrothed to an obscure knight. And soon, the beloved mistress of the King's son and the mother of his children. Set in the vibrant fourteenth century of Chaucer and the Black Death, the story features knights fighting in battle, serfs struggling in poverty, and the magnificent Plantagenets-Edward III, the Black Prince, and Richard II-who rule despotically over a court rotten with intrigue. Within this era of danger and romance, John of Gaunt, the king's son, falls passionately in love with the already-married Katherine.
