Plaidy brings medieval court life vividly to life, presenting Eleanor as one of history's most formidable women — a queen who navigates power, love, and betrayal with extraordinary cunning. The novel details the dramatic circumstances surrounding the murder of Thomas Becket and the fierce struggle for dominance between crown and church in twelfth-century England. Written with Plaidy's signature blend of meticulous historical research and compelling narrative drive, this is an essential read for anyone captivated by the personalities and intrigues that shaped the English monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956362916059,"sku":"2026200008492-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9bb2f524-ee30-471b-8c52-7cccc748c607.png?v=1783500256","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008492-secondhand-the-plantagenet-prelude","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
