"It is Christmas of 1183, and Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine are, for once, together in the drafty castle of Chinon. For all their regal status, they are much like any long-estranged but inseparably married couple: Henry flaunts his new mistress; Eleanor plots against him with their sons. They will do anythig they can to hurt each other. And they love each other to distraction"--Cover.

Description
In the winter of 1183, a royal family prepares for a joyous Christmas holiday reunion of scheming, conniving and deceit. King Henry II summons his cunning prison-bound wife to his side as he prepares to announce the succession of the throne to one of his double-crossing three sons, none of whom are qualified to rule the monarchy.
