An Anglo-Saxon princess in the Scottish court...
Newly crowned Margaret knows exile, estrangement and terror all too well. When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Margaret and her family fled to Scotland, where she was hurriedly wed to Malcolm, King of the Scots. She'd craved the quiet life of a nun but now finds herself thrust into the public sphere with a duty to save souls-and lives-in the bloody aftermath of the Norman conquest.
Book 1: Spoils of War
When a beggar at her door turns out to be a high born lady, Margaret learns of a family destroyed by the Norman invasion. She resolves to help the woman find her missing daughter-abducted and enslaved by a local mormaer. When the mormaer's daughter is found murdered, the foreigners quickly become scapegoats. Can Margaret save her displaced countrywomen's lives, while navigating her new role as queen in a foreign court?
