Castile for Isabella

With fifteenth-century Spain rent with intrigue and threatened by civil war, Isabella becomes the pawn of her half-crazed mother and a virtual prisoner at the licentious court of her half-brother, Henry IV. At sixteen years old, is she already fated to be the victim of the Queen’s revenge, the Archbishop’s ambition and the lust of the lecherous Don Pedro Girón? Numbed by grief and fear, Isabella remains steadfast in her determination to marry Ferdinand, the handsome young Prince of Aragon, and her only true betrothed.
