Scandal, politics, sex, triumphs, and tragedies abound in The Summer Queen, the first novel in this stunning trilogy, by New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Chadwick

Young Eleanor has everything to look forward to as the heiress to the wealthy Aquitaine. But when her beloved father suddenly dies, childhood is over. Sent to Paris and forced to marry Prince Louis VII of France, she barely adjusts before another death catapults them to King and Queen.

The first in the Eleanor of Aquitaine Trilogy, The Summer Queen follows Eleanor through the Second Crusade to the end of her marriage to Louis VII. Faced with great scandals, trials, fraught relationships, and forbidden love at every turn, Eleanor seeks the path that will make her queen of two countries and one of the most powerful women in the world.

Chadwick's meticulous research portrays the Middle Ages and Eleanor with depth and vivid imagery unparalleled in historical fiction that will keep readers riveted and wanting more.

Following the legendary life of Eleanor of Aquitaine, 12th Century Queen of France, and later Queen of England, this trilogy is medieval historical fiction at its most romantic, scandalous, and intriguing.

The Eleanor of Aquitaine Trilogy:
The Summer Queen (Book 1)
The Winter Crown (Book 2)
The Autumn Throne (Book 3)

Love the style- sizing is a bit tricky online
Mini Melissa shoes always deliver on cuteness (and comfort). That said, each pair seems to be slightly different in terms of sizing! We ordered a size 2 and found that it was a little bigger than a recent size 2 we'd ordered. Still worth it, just a heads up that this might be a better purchase in person when you can try on!

New obsession
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Cinderella, Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Cinderella
Perfect fit! My daughter’s toes just started to reach the toe box on a size 8, so naturally I ordered the size up so she has room to grow and they work wonderfully. Absolutely adorable, shiny and in perfect condition. Glad i got these on sale! Very durable and easy to wipe down. Smells great too! Very flexible for wide feet and great when wearing with socks. She can run and dance; they are non-slip so I feel safe when she’s playing in them.

Love it!
Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Snow White - Red
My 3 year old absolutely loves these shoes! True to size, I bought a little bit beigger so they last to summer. She can put them off and on by herself. They are very light. She wears them on sucks and sometimes without. They smell good: ) Design is perfect. She can run in them easily. Highlighly recommend even though price is expensive. But I don't plan to buy any extra shoes for summer but water and sneakers, so it is OK.
