Description
The Siege Winter A Novel by Ariana Franklin and Samantha Norman is set in 12th century England during its devastating civil war. In this treacherous world, two young women's fates become intertwined as they navigate the dangers of their time. A powerful historical mystery unfolds when an eleven-year-old peasant named Emma is kidnapped from her village by a depraved monk obsessed with redheads. Rescued by an archer for hire named Gwyl, she has no memory of her previous life and must be hidden in order to survive. As they journey together, Gwyl teaches the girl, now known as Penda, how to use a bow and evade their pursuers. Their quest takes them to Kenilworth, a small fortress where 15-year-old Maud, newly wedded to a much older husband, provides shelter to the Empress Matilda. As Stephen's forces lay siege to the fortress, Gwyl, Penda, and Maud must use all their skills and cunning to stave off the enemy and uncover the truth about Emma's past.
