4.6(855)

Edgar Ætheling becomes a focus for resistance to Norman rule when rebellion spreads through northern England. The uprising threatens William’s still-fragile hold on the kingdom and brings violent reprisals into communities whose loyalties remain divided after Hastings.

Richard fitz Malet is caught directly between the two sides. His Norman connections bind him to the new order, while his English blood and experience of the north make the rebels’ grievances impossible to dismiss. As armies gather and punishment escalates, Richard must choose where he stands without the comfort of believing either side will spare those who hesitate. The novel centres on the human fracture created when conquest turns family identity into a political allegiance.
