Description
The Fate of England Hangs in the Balance of a Fight Between Brothers. David Churchill's vivid historical novel tells the story of William the Conqueror in all its dramatic glory. A world seething with rivalry and intrigue, where assassins are never short of work, is brought to life in this thrilling tale. The noble families of Europe are torn apart by their lust for power and wealth, as Emma, Queen of England, struggles to come to terms with the succession to her husband Canute's throne. The younger son of the Duke of Normandy, Robert, emerges from a bloody siege victorious and in love with a beautiful - and pregnant - peasant girl. His child will be mocked as William the bastard, but they have another name for him... Conqueror. The fight for the Royal crown of England continues in this gripping historical blockbuster. The Leopards of Normandy trilogy is a worthwhile read for anyone fascinated by medieval history and the complexities of power struggles.
