The Lionheart Queen: The Traitor's Gallows — A betrayed duchess transforms exile into a calculated ascent to the crown.

Duchess Eleanor carries the heir of King Arthur when he casts her into a violent storm to favor his mistress. Presumed dead in the wilderness, she endures and returns with a singular focus: dismantling the man who discarded her. She methodically severs his military support, secures an annulment, and brings his offenses into the light. Her campaign shifts the balance of power entirely, culminating in her coronation as sovereign while the former king is reduced to begging in the streets.
