The Rain Maiden

Isabel the Child--She was a forbidden fruit - voluptuous, ripe for passion, but still merely a child when she was forced to marry the king of France. So young and seemingly so naive, no one could guess that the child-bride possessed an astonishing sexual appetite.

Isabel the Temptress--Her husband King Philippe-Auguste scorned her...until she set his bedchamber afire with her wild sexual exploration. If the young king was a slave to desire, Isabel would offer him an orgiastic feast, plotting that ultimate she would rule him.

Isabel the Queen--Clever, cunning, willful, she seduced ad charmed the royalty of Europe, then dressed in rags and took to the streets to win the favor of the peasants. Many called her mad, but they all came to adore the flaxen-haired Queen of the Franks.

Isabel the Legend--Though Isabel's cold body lay entombed in the cathedral of Notre Dame, Philippe was haunted by the memory of her captivating beauty, her exquisite grace. He could not forget her dying words: "You are mine until the grave makes ghosts of both of us."
