But life in 1198 is full of threat and a series of tragic events teaches her growing up is hard.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When Isi falls for Hugh, a French nobleman, he consents to marry her, but only for her dowry. She longs for more. Hoping a jealous man will fall in love, she flirts with a king. The flirtation backfires: King John abducts and marries her. Now trapped in cold, warring England with a malicious husband, Isi must hide her yearning for Hugh and find her own power. If she fails, she won’t live to return to her beloved.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inspired by real historical figures—Isabelle d’Angoulême, Hugh de Lusignan, and King John of Magna Carta fame—\u003ci\u003eBehold the Bird in Flight\u003c\/i\u003e is set in a period that valued women only for their dowries and childbearing. Isabelle’s story has been mainly erased by men, but the medieval chronicles suggest a woman who developed her own power and wielded it. And as the woman behind the throne, who’s to say she didn’t influence history?","brand":"She Writes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46454501900543,"sku":"9781647429102","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781647429102_s600x595.jpg?v=1781544505","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781647429102","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
