Spain for the Sovereigns: (Isabella & Ferdinand Trilogy)

Jean Plaidy

Married to Ferdinand after continual fears and disappointments, Isabella triumphed over every danger, convinced of her true destiny. With the might of Portugal humbled, the Court of the Sovereigns saw the rise of Torquemada, the establishment of the dreaded Inquisition, and the coming of Columbus, who left the woman he loved to make a dream reality. Ambitious and unfaithful, Ferdinand longed to lead his troops against the Moorish strongholds. Isabella knew a united Spain and a glorious future could be theirs, but they must only share it together.

Reviews of Spain for the Sovereigns: (Isabella & Ferdinand Trilogy)

"Her novels are still very much to be enjoyed … Any writer who can both educate and thrill a reader of any age deserves to be remembered and find new fans … One only has to look at the TV/Media to see that the appetite for this kind of writing is still very much there" Matt Bates, WHSmith Travel "Jean Plaidy doesn't just write the history, she makes it come alive." Julia Moffat, RNA "Plaidy excels at blending history with romance and drama" New York Times "Full-blooded, dramatic, exciting" Observer "Outstanding" Vanity Fair
