About the book
The Dragon Henry had been hunted, betrayed and attacked by his political enemies since the day he was born. He had conquered his fear of the constant danger surrounding him, but could he conquer the woman he had agreed to wed -- the woman who represented all he had learned to despise, the one who would profit most from his death? And The Rose Fair, beautiful, passionate and clever, Elizabeth had been born of royal blood and possessed the arrogance and self-control of a queen. Forced by her mother to marry a man she abhorred, she went to her marriage bed with head held high and a heart filled with fear.
