Joanna de Munchensi is raised at Henry III’s court before an unexpected inheritance makes her one of England’s richest heiresses. Her arranged marriage to William de Valence, the king’s charismatic half-brother, draws resentment from established nobles who regard the royal newcomers as competitors for land and influence.
The marriage develops into a resilient partnership as conflict between Henry III and Simon de Montfort divides the realm. When William is driven into exile and their estates become targets, Joanna must use household networks, political judgement and personal courage to preserve their children and the inheritance on which their future depends.
