Éloïse de Valrois
France, mid-12th century. A time of intrigue, war, and a ruthless struggle for power. Éloïse de Valrois was born into an ancient family of knights, but instead of privileges, she received only a shadow of contempt: the youngest daughter, who had no place in the heart of the family, nor in their plans. As a child, she was deprived of love, as a youth - of the right to inherit. But this did not break her. She vowed to become stronger than her brothers, to surpass their valor and prove that honor and strength do not depend on gender. Years of training have hardened her, and the sword Clairflamme has become a symbol of her will. And now, in 1159, Eloise leads a detachment of royal knights of France. On the horizon is England, where the war between Henry II Plantagenet and Louis VII rages. For France, she is a captain. For her soldiers, she is a leader. But for herself, Éloïse remains only a warrior who goes to meet her destiny.
