At sixteen years-old, Jacqueline inherits the countship of Holland, defiantly leads her army to victory against the German Empire, infuriates the all-powerful Duke Philip of Burgundy, and falls in love with his closest ally. Now, there is hell to pay. Based upon a true story. "The two main characters, Jacqueline and Renard, were beautifully drawn and compelling, as was the obvious attraction and love between the pair. Jaqueline is a wonderful, compassionate leader, although far too headstrong for her own good at times. The romance, the battles, the spies, the treachery were all fascinating and combined to make this one of the most enjoyable books I have read." - Reader's Favorite
