The secrets in a woman's heart are deeper than the ocean... For May Smith, travelling with her husband & baby girl Ellen, stepping foot on the Titanic marks the start of an incredible journey, one which is destined to take her from the back streets of Bolton to the land of opportunity: the United States. But when the 'unsinkable' Titanic hits an iceberg one cold dark night, May's dreams are instantly shattered. Jumping from the sinking ship at the last minute, May loses sight of Joe & Ellen. Distraught, she is pulled into a lifeboat. Minutes later, the real-life Captain Smith swims to the lifeboat & hands May a baby swaddled in blankets. Beside herself, & in virtual darkness, May believes the baby to be Ellen. This rescue is witnessed by fellow survivor, Celeste Parkes, married to an American industrialist who is on her way back to Ohio after her mother's funeral. In horror, they both watch the death throes of the mighty ship; May traumatised, knowing her husband has drowned, Celeste wishing her bully of a husband had been on board & out of her life. As the dawn comes up, & the two women are rescued by the Carpathia, a friendship is formed, one which is destined to transcend the Atlantic & social differences between them & last a lifetime. Then May makes a shocking discovery & a split-second decision which will change the lives of so many. ...

It is the year 1152 & a beautiful woman of thirty, attended by only a small armed escort, is riding like the wind southwards through what is now France, leaving behind her crown, her two young daughters & a shattered marriage to Louis of France, who had been more like a monk than a king, & certainly not much of a lover. This woman is Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, & her sole purpose now is to return to her vast duchy & marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, a man destined for greatness as King of Engl&. Theirs is a union founded on lust which will create a great empire stretching from the wilds of Scotland to the Pyrenees. It will also create the devils brood of Plantagenets ? including Richard C?ur de Lion & King John ? & the most notoriously vicious marriage in history.
