The Queen Dowager

The Queen Dowager is the incredibly gripping story of Saxon England's first crowned queen who's been censured by history as a whore and a murderer but was neither. The widowed Lady Elfrida has achieved the impossible in tenth-century England. She’s ensured her twelve-year-old son has become king, despite the gruesome murder of his predecessor and half-brother, Edward. But her son is far from grateful for her endeavours. No woman had ever held so much power and lost it on the whim of her son. Six years of political ostracism have brought Lady Elfrida low. Desperate to be welcomed back to court, she risks all to make an ally of England’s Viking enemy. Failure risks exile from her home. Forever. The Queen Dowager is the second book in the second trilogy featuring Lady Elfrida, Saxon England's first recorded crowned queen. Suggested reading orderThe King's MotherThe Queen DowagerOnce A Queen
