Description
Young and beautiful Gytha Godwinson is the envy of England when her father Harold seizes the country’s crown in early 1066. Soon triumph turns to terror as an evil star appears, heralding the end of an era and a new beginning for Britain. Her family seems cursed, but even as she suffers loss, betrayal and humiliation, Gytha is determined to regain what is rightfully hers.
In a stunning re-telling of 1066, international bestselling author Ellen Alpsten has created a captivating new heroine in Gytha Godwinson. While women were limited to their roles as ‘cup-bearer’, ‘peace-weaver’ and ‘memory-keeper’, Gytha dares to write world history.
Loose yourself in a bewitching blend of myth and modernity.
