Appealing to fans of Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir, Anne O’Brien dramatises the story of Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, who was married to French King Louis VII and English King Henry II.
Eleanor seized fate and make it dance to her tune. She relentlessly pursued power, took forbidden lovers, and even dared to find a more compatible husband before severing her marriage to King Louis.
Anne O’Brien’s previous title, Virgin Widow, was hugely successful. The Devil’s Consort is set to receive a similar reception. Author Jeane Westin said, "O'Brien, with sensual lyricism, gifts readers with the lesser-known story of Eleanor of Aquitaine before Henry Plantagenet swept her away to immortality."
