l Michael Gaunt turns from the eighteenth-century

'Belle Isle' and 'The Invaders' to
fourtennth-century Cyprus.
Eleanora Of Aragon sails to the island as bride
to Peter I of
Cyprus, last of the great kings of chivalry. Each
is reluctant
for the marriage. From the first day, the lives
of the new queen
and Meriel de Gilles, the despised younf daughter
of a minor
noble, are closely linked. This book tells how
Peter leads the cru
sade in which the great port of Alexandria is
sacked; how
Eleanora comes to be hated as a torturer and
adultress, and how
she and the king's brother bring ruin to Cyprus.
Meriel's love
for Hugh of Mantua, the physician who rose to be
a king's
chancellor, weaves a bright pattern through the
tapestry nof war,
injustice and intrigue." Very nice crisp/clean
item. Scarce.
