In 1066, with the old King Edward dying, England falls vulnerable to the winds of fate-and the stubborn will of these two powerful men. Brutal and dangerously smart, William sets his sights on England, finding ambition a difficult lust to conquer. In France, William, the bastard son of a duke, falls in love with power. He marries Edyth despite her lack of pedigree, pitting him against his turbulent family and his selfish King, Edward. ![]() Harold Godwineson, a young, respected Earl, falls in love with an ordinary but beautiful woman. ![]() "A very talented writer." -Sharon Kay Penman, NYT bestselling author of Devil's Brood England, 1044.
