I'm going CRAZY w/out #3!

Ellen Jones "hooked" me with Fatal Crown and Beloved Enemy, and at the end of Beloved Enemy, she writes "To Be Continued..." I've exhausted every resource I can think of to find this elusive continuation to no avail. Does anyone know its title? It isn't merely the story of Eleanor and Henry that has me hooked, but the wonderful richness of Jones' characters. She creates characters with whom I can empathize regardless of whether it is a "she" or "he," royal or penniless, I feel as tho' I'm there beside him or her and realizing events equally. (The occasional romp in bed doesn't hurt either.) If anyone knows of the 3rd book in this series, pls. post the info! thanks.

I agree, Please Ellen, WRITE.

Fatal Crown and Beloved Enemy bring to life people, times and places that we can normally only experience through dry facts.Ellen's novels actually made those facts believable.Fantastic writing and I have not given up hope on the third of them. I can't wait to read Ellen's spin on Eleanor and her sons running amok on Henry and or Thomas.

CHARACTERS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH!!

I am a British history buff! I read everything about the British Isles, history and fiction. I loved the Fatal Crown and after finishing it (nothing good lasts forever) I immediately began to read Beloved Enemy, which I also enjoyed to the max. I'm eagerly awaiting the third installment of the series and hoping there would be a fourth one (After all, the Plantagenets could fill many volumes). Please, Ellen Jones, WRITE, WRITE!!! I love your books!

unbelievably well written

This book takes the great amount of research done on this magnificent woman, and weaves it into a fantastic story. Please hurry with the sequel, I'm dying to read about Henry III, Richard the Lionhearted, and the other great children of the Eagle!
