About this ebook
Life at the royal court in England becomes darker when the spectre of war advances from the north. King Edward and his chief minister Earl Harold of Wessex are obliged to make concessions that ultimately weaken the crown and the house of Wessex. Then when a crisis over the succession to the throne of England raises its head, Harold takes action which means he must sacrifice what is most precious to him.
In Normandy, the ever-watchful Duke William suffers yet another setback to his ambition. He is propelled into beginning a process that will require him to gamble on his military skill and at the same time jeopardise all he has worked for throughout his life.
For them both it is a fight for survival itself.
This historical novel is set in the years 1065-66 and is the fifth book of the 'Crown in Conflict' series.
