Description
"A fine-grained and emotionally satisfying medieval adventure." -Kirkus Reviews
Isabella wants to come home - a rather innocuous request - unless you're the king and Isabella is the aunt whose mental instability led her own father to banish her from the kingdom. Her arrival, unbidden, on the steps of the castle opens old wounds and forces Alfred to examine his grandfather's decision.
As diplomacy with former enemies begins to bear fruit, new dangers loom on the horizon. The bellicose Teutons, discord among the nobles in the Kingdom Across the Southern Sea, and Isabella's continuing machinations all conspire to threaten the peace and security of the realm.
Alfred's mettle will be tested as never before. And a startling revelation will lead him first to troublesome doubts and eventually to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a king.

Person
Pamela Taylor's "trip of a lifetime" may have been the one where she got to touch a 700-year-old book and examine the account rolls for the construction of a gothic cathedral. A self-professed history-geek, she finds the past offers rich sources of character, ambiance, and story that allow readers to escape into a world totally unlike their daily lives."Weaving a narrative around gaps or exploring contradictions in the historical record is fertile ground for the novelist," she says. "And just as intriguing as imagining the lives of actual historical figures."Pamela shares her home with two Pembroke Welsh Corgis who frequently remind her that a dog walk is the best inspiration for that next chapter.
