THE BARONESS'S HEIRS

Isabella, a noble lady wed to gay Baron Richard, is falsely branded cursed and infertile. To secure heirs and her family standing, she bears two sons and daughter Eleanor with three men: impoverished scholar Arthur (later Grand Chancellor), rugged blacksmith Reynold (Crusade Commander), and Duke Edwin, the King’s nephew. She combats her husband’s hypocrisy and slander via public opinion and legal contracts.
