Description
England, 1006: Queen Emma of Normandy faces a kingdom strained by Viking raids, political rivalries, and the uneasy demands of her marriage to King Æthelred. As danger closes in around the royal court, Emma must summon every measure of intelligence and resolve to protect her family and secure her precarious position. Rich in historical detail, this absorbing novel explores power, loyalty, faith, and the high cost of survival in a turbulent age. Patricia Bracewell brings the world of eleventh-century England vividly to life through a compelling portrait of a woman navigating the ruthless machinery of kingship.
