Women of the Battle of Hastings

In the years before England is broken and remade at the Battle of Hastings, three women move through a world on the brink of conquest.

Matilda of Flanders - Duchess of Normandy and Queen of England.

Judith, sister to Matilda and wife to the volatile Tostig Godwinson.

Godgifu, bastard granddaughter to Queen Emma of Normandy, and one of the last descendants of England’s ancient Anglo-Saxon royal line.

Bound by kinship, friendship, and the ambitions of the men around them, these women witness the slow unravelling of a realm as the future of England hangs in the balance.

Set across fifteen turbulent years leading to the Battle of Hastings, this novel reimagines the Norman Conquest through the eyes of the women whose lives were shaped by the conflict.
