Publisher's Synopsis
Britain, 1045 - The Normans are waiting to wrest the English throne away from the Anglo-Saxon barons. King Edward the Confessor does his Machiavellian best to aid them. Everything centres on the succession. Earl Lovric of Mercia and his wife, Godiva, are drawn into the machinations at Court. When Edward makes their son a pawn in his power play, Godiva's maternal instincts rise to the fore, and intrigue undermines her own trust in her husband... The stage is set for one of the most powerful mythological stories of British history.
