Inept and arrogant Aethelred the Unready is loathed by his young wife whom he punishes for his many failings as a ruler. Their first son Edward is born through an act of violence that is little more than rape. England is invaded by the Viking King Swein Forkbeard and his son Cnut. After a bitter struggle Aethelred loses his kingdom and his wife. Emma now dowager queen holds London against the invader Cnut. When he demands she surrender or suffer the consequences Emma stakes everything on a dangerous gamble but troubles and tragedy still await the indomitable queen as she struggles for power and for survival in a violent male world...This fascinating historical novel reveals the truth behind the woman who played a key role in the power shift from Saxon to Norman at a pivotal point in world history.
