Set in the vibrant fourteenth century of  Chaucer and the Black Death, the story features knights fighting in  battle, serfs struggling in poverty, and the magnificent  Plantagenets--Edward III, the Black Prince, and Richard II--who rule  despotically over a court rotten with intrigue. Within this era of  danger and romance, John of Gaunt, the king's son, falls passionately in  love with the already-married Katherine. Their affair persists through  decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption. Anya  Seton's vivid rendering of the lives of the Duke and Duchess of  Lancaster makes Katherine an unmistakable classic\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48254550737131,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":42.09,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780544222885-1.jpg?v=1781627920","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780544222885","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
