Description
Harold Godwinesson was a young earl with a life full of promise. In 1044, he fell deeply in love with an ordinary yet beautiful woman, setting him apart from the path that power and politics had laid out for others. Across the Channel, William, the bastard son of a duke, became consumed by his desire for power. As fate would have it, these two men's lives intertwined in a way that would change England forever. Harold II, chosen to be king, led his army into the Battle of Hastings in October 1066, determined to defend his kingdom against foreign invasion. Meanwhile, William's ambition drove him to take by force what he desired - the crown. In this beautifully crafted tale, Helen Hollick brings to life a story that has been largely overshadowed by history. She reveals the tender love, determination, and proud loyalty of Harold II, a man whose fate was forever altered by the desire for a crown held by one who had no right to wear it.
