Do you like your history with a pinch of adventure and a zest of romance? Then this book is for you. Set in tenth century England, this story will draw you back to ancient times, where life was uncertain and passions were burning. At the end of the Dark Ages, men fought for honor, land and wealth, and did everything with excess. Women struggled through feuds, raids, disease and famines. Love was rare and precious, hard to find, and easy to lose. And worth going to war for.
