Kathleen Givens' LATEST BOOK, RIVALS FOR THE CROWN, BY POCKET
1290: Turmoil erupts when the seven-year-old queen of Scotland perishes en route to claim the crown. Two bitter foes -- John Balliol and Robert Bruce -- emerge as possible successors, but England's Edward I has his own designs on Scotland.
In London, Edward has expelled all Jews from his kingdom. Rachel de Anjou is heartbroken to leave behind her best friend, Isabel de Burke, and travel with her family to the Scottish border town of Berwick. Danger is everywhere, but the tall, dark Highlander Kieran MacDonald presents a risk of a different sort.
Isabel, appointed as lady-in-waiting to Edward's queen, Eleanor, is soon immersed in a world of privilege and peril where she attracts the notice of two men -- Henry de Boyer, an English knight, and Rory MacGannon, a Highland warrior and outlaw. Isabel and Rachel are soon reunited in Berwick, but as the enmity between Scotland and England reaches its violent peak, each woman must decide where her loyalty -- and her destiny -- lies.
1290: le agitazioni scoppiano quando la regina di sette anni della Scozia perisce in viaggio per esigere la corona. Due amari nemici - John Balliol e Robert Bruce - vengono fuori come successori possibili, ma Edward I di Inghilterra ha i propri disegni sulla Scozia.
A Londra, Edward ha espulso tutti gli ebrei dal suo regno. Rachel de Anjou ha il cuore spezzato per dover lasciarsi alle spalle la sua migliore amica, Isabel de Burke e viaggia con la sua famiglia verso la città scozzese di confine di Berwick. Il pericolo è dappertutto, ma l'alto e tenebroso Highlander Kieran MacDonald presenta un rischio di specie differente.
Isabel, nominato come dama di compagnia della regina di Edward, Eleanor, è presto immersa in un mondo di privilegi e pericoli dove attrae l'attenzione di due uomini -- Henry de Boyer, un cavaliere inglese e Rory MacGannon, un guerriero delle Highland e fuorilegge. Isabel e Rachel presto si ritrovano a Berwick, ma mentre la guerra fra Scozia e Inghilterra raggiunge il suo apice violento, entrambe le donne devono decidere dove sta la loro lealtà - ed il loro destino.
