Shadow on the Crown by Patricia Bracewell

This medieval historical novel focuses on a little-known period in English history. The story begins in the year 1002. It is a fascinating story. Emma becomes queen at the age of fifteen, married to a much older king who appears to be unstable. Through the constant threat of Viking invasion, a husband that does not love her, and the unexpected love for a man she can never have, this novel sizzles with adventure, intrigue, and betrayal. With a little research, I learned that Queen Emma was a real person, which made the story more pleasurable. I enjoyed every minute of this novel and eagerly await its sequel. Happy reading.
