The day of reckoning is now at hand--not only for Maria, Richard, and Phillip, but for that most unfortunate of Plantagenet kings, Edward II.
Then King Edward is captured as Richard and Maria prepare to flee to safety, and Phillip returns to discover Maria\'s betrayal.
Meanwhile, Edward II\'s barons are rebelling, executing his favorites, while across the channel in France, Isabella, Edward II\'s wife--the She-Wolf of France-plans to invade England.
But when Phillip abandons Maria to indulge his wanderlust, she turns to Richard, sparking a scandelous, passionate affair amidst the crumbling kingdom of Edward II.
She has married the knight of whom minstrels sing; the knight who saved Richard\'s life.
Loving Philip should be easy.
