- "Eine Liebe, die nicht sein darf Er hinterlässt eine Perle auf ihrem Kopfkissen. Jedes Mal, wenn sie sich treffen. Alice Salisbury ist in der Blüte ihres Lebens, als passiert, was sie sich im Stillen schon seit ihrer Ankunft am Hof erhofft hatte: Der charismatische Edward verliebt sich in sie. Doch er ist verheiratet mit Philippa, die die Verbindung von ihrem Krankenbett aus still duldet. Er ist Alices grösste Erfüllung und ihre grösste Gefahr. Denn Edward ist kein geringerer als Edward III., König von England. Emma Campion, geboren in North Carolina, hat nach ihrem Studium der mittelalterlichen Literatur und Geschichte als Lektorin für wissenschaftliche Publikationen und freischaffende Schriftstellerin gearbeitet, während sie sich weiter mit der Geschichte des Mittelalters beschäftigte. Sie lebt mit ihrem Ehemann in Seattle und reist regelmässig nach Grossbritannien. In ihrer Freizeit beschäftigt sie sich mit Bergwandern, Gärtnern, Yoga und Vipassana-Meditation."
- ""From childhood Alice Salisbury learned obedience in all things, so at the age of fourteen, she dutifully marries the man her father has chosen for her - at the cost of losing the love of her mother forever, as well as the family she holds dear. But merchant Janyn Perrers is a good and loving husband and Alice soon learns to enjoy her marriage. Her happiness is short-lived, however, ending when a messenger brings news of Janyn's sudden disappearance. Alice discovers that her husband had many dangerous secrets, secrets which have now put a price on her own head and that of her beloved daughter. Brought under the protection of King Edward III and Queen Philippa, she must dutifully embrace her fate once more - as a virtual prisoner at Court. When the king singles her out for more than just royal patronage, she knows she has little choice but to accept his advances. But obeying the king brings with it many burdens as well as pleasures, as she forfeits her good name to keep her daughter free from harm. Still a young woman and guided by her intellect and good business sense, she uses her gifts as wisely as she can in order to ensure her family's survival."--Provided by publisher"
