Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dear Reader,When I first saw her, I realized that the miniature portrait I had shown to the king did not do her justice.

Guinevere is the most captivating and intriguing woman I have ever met. I have but one question: Will my interest in her prove to be a fatal one Hugh of Beaucaire.…
