A breathtaking conclusion to Bracewell’s Emma of Normandy Trilogy, (Shadow on the Corwn, The Price of Blood, and The Steel Beneath the Silk) brimming with treachery, heartache, tenderness and passion as the English queen confronts ambitious and traitorous councilors, invading armies and the Danish king’s power-hungry concubine.
In the year 1012 England’s Norman-born Queen Emma has been ten years wed to an aging, ruthless, haunted King Æthelred. The marriage is a bitterly unhappy one, between a queen who seeks to create her own sphere of influence within the court and a suspicious king who eyes her efforts with hostility and resentment. But royal discord shifts to grudging alliance when Cnut of Denmark, with the secret collusion of his English concubine Elgiva, invades England at the head of a massive viking army. Amid the chaos of war, Emma must outwit a fierce enemy whose goal is conquest and outmaneuver the cunning Elgiva, who threatens all those whom Emma loves.

Patricia Bracewell taught literature and composition before embarking upon her writing career. A lifelong fascination with British history and a chance, on-line reference to an unfamiliar English queen led to years of research, a summer history course at Downing College, Cambridge, and the penning of Shadow on the Crown and The Price of Blood, the first two books in her trilogy about the 11th century queen of England, Emma of Normandy. Patricia conducted research for the final book of her trilogy, The Steel Beneath the Silk, as writer-in-residence at Gladstone's Library in Wales. She lives with her husband in Northern California.
