Description
In eleventh-century England, young Emma of Normandy is sent across the sea to marry King Æthelred, entering a troubled court where ambition, suspicion, and the threat of Viking invasion shape every alliance. Determined to survive and secure her position, Emma must navigate a world of political intrigue while confronting the demands of queenship, faith, and a marriage forged for strategy rather than love. Richly atmospheric and meticulously rooted in history, this compelling novel brings to life a formidable woman whose intelligence and resilience place her at the center of a kingdom on the brink of upheaval.
