The Outlander King (The Aetheling's Bride Book 1)

The story of The Lion and the Rose and the Norman Conquest continues in this spellbinding new historical fiction series from author Hilary Rhodes, pulling back the curtain on the lives of two remarkable women connected across centuries: Aislinn, a seventeen-year-old English girl caught up in the advancing army of the â€œoutlander king,â€ the man who will become known to history as William the Conqueror. Thrust into the center of the new Norman court and a dizzying web of political intrigue and plotting princes, she must choose her alliances carefully in a game of thrones where the stakes are unimaginably high. Embroiled in rebellions and betrayals, Aislinn learns the price of loyalty, struggles to find her home, and save those she loves â€“ and, perhaps, her own soul as well.

Almost nine hundred years later in 1987, Selma Murray, an American graduate student at Oxford University, is researching the mysterious â€œAethelingaâ€ manuscript, as Aislinnâ€™s chronicle has come to be known. Trying to work out the riddles of someone elseâ€™s past is a way for Selma to dodge her own troubling ghosts â€“ yet the two are becoming inextricably intertwined. She must face her own demons, answer Aislinnâ€™s questions, and find forgiveness â€“ for herself and others â€“ in this epically scaled but intimately examined, extensively researched look at the creation of history, the universality of humanity, and the many faces it has worn no matter the century: loss, grief, guilt, redemption, and love.
