Beskrivelse
The King's Mother is the story of a woman who has been censured by history as both a whore and a murderer but was neither.The widowed Lady Elfrida has achieved the impossible. She's ensured her twelve-year-old son has become king, despite the gruesome murder of his predecessor and half-brother. While many blame the king's mother, she looks to two rival noblemen as the real perpetrators.Even with the reappearance of an unwelcome enemy on England's shores, Viking warriors, who attack and threaten the safety and security of England, and specifically, the young king, the two noblemen are far from resigned to Lady Elfrida's power.As her son takes the final steps to become king in actions as well as name, she's increasingly isolated by the deaths of allies and the scheming ways of others, including the king. Resentful of her continuing influence, Lady Elfrida faces banishment from Court with both fierce determination and acquiescence.The King's Mother is the first part in a new trilogy.Suggested reading order:The Mercian Brexit (short story and prequel)The First Queen of EnglandThe First Queen of England Part 2The First Queen of England Part 3The King's Mother
