Diane de Poitiers could haveand should havebeen Queen of France. King Henri II was devoted to her throughout his life. His childhood attachment turned into an adolescent attraction, and eventually into a passionate and consuming love. His greatest wish was to make her his wife and to have her rule France at his side. However, theirs was a time when royal marriages were arranged for political gain, and Henris first duty was to France; he was forced to marry a woman he could never love. Diane de Poitiers was beautiful, wealthy, and well educated. Nineteen years his senior, she was Henris ideal woman. Diane and Henri loved each other with a love that was not only romantic and physical, but which also existed on a pure and spiritual level. Henri lavished gifts upon the woman he loved, and Diane guided and inspired him like no otheruntil they were separated for eternity by a cruel twist of fate. Over five hundred years later, historians credit Diane with the success of Henris reign. But who was this woman who won the heart of the King of France? Let her tell you, in her own words

The seeds of BOOK OF DAYS were planted during the author's student days at Northwestern by a visiting French professor of intellectual European history. Adroitly he indelibly impressed the capacities of individuals who could and did change the predesignated course of History. Ms. Todd's interest in Diane de Poitiers was at first solely feminine curiosity. How could she, Diane, have so bewitched her lover nearly twenty years younger for so many years? Henri II (58th King of France) was forty years old when felled on the tournament field wearing his mistress's colors! Writing historical fiction, particularly when so heavily biographical as is the BOOK OF DAYS, the author perforce develops a unique relationship with the subject, oneness, or perhaps, better said, it becomes like a good marriage. Respect and understanding are reached. Even though agreement of opinion is not always found, it is fairly expressed in the light of the times in which it occurred. Ms. Todd's pursuit of the 16th century through the aid of the British Museum Library, the Encyclopedia Britannica Research Center, French libraries was painstakingly methodical. Walking side-by-side with a myriad of brilliant and cunning personalities encountered during the twelve year reign of Henri II (1547-1559) divulges sweeping revelations but, most importantly the author has stumbled upon a well-kept historical secret! History has maligned Diane de Poitiers. Characterized to the world as beauteous, yes, but cold, greedy, manipulative, Diane de Poitiers was but a creature of her age. She was born to rule! With her Bourbon blood she had been educated from infancy onward in the French Court. At fifteen she married one of the most powerful and richest men in France; she became La Grande Sénéschal of Normandy. The question asked and answered why did she, Diane de Poitiers not become Queen of France.

Amid the disapproving gossip of the Court, a royal romance defies all obstacles. The Court of François I is full of lust, intrigue, and bawdy bon temps—a different world from the quiet country life Diane de Poitiers led with her elderly husband. Now a widow, the elegant Diane is called back to Court, where the King’s obvious interest marks her as an enemy to the King’s favourite, Anne d’Heilly. The Court is soon electrified by rumors of their confrontations. As Anne calls on her most venomous tricks to drive Diane away, Diane finds an ally in the one member of Court with no allegiance to the King’s mistress: his teenage second son, Henri. Neglected by his father and disliked by his brothers, Prince Henri expects little from his life. But as his friendship with Diane deepens into infatuation and then a romance that scandalizes the Court, the Prince begins to discover hope for a future with Diane. But fate and his father have other plans for Henri—including a political marriage with Catherine de Medici. Despite daunting obstacles, Henri’s devotion to Diane never wanes; their passion becomes one of the most legendary romances in the history of France. Also available as an eBook
