Book Spotlight of Historical Romance:
Hearts Rule Kingdoms
by Emily Murdoch
England, 1069.
The nation is still recovering from the Norman invasion
three years earlier - and adjusting to life under its sometimes brutal new
rulers.
A young girl trembles in the shadows of what was once her
home.
Avis is homeless and penniless, and with no family left
alive she is forced to become a ward of Richard, the Norman lord who has taken
her home.
But when King William decrees that Norman lords must marry
Anglo-Saxon women Avis must make a terrible choice.
Either marry the repulsive Richard or take a else chance on
another Norman, Melville, a man she has never met.
Soon she realises that survival in a time of turmoil and war
depends of putting aide the prejudices of the past
And if she can do so, kingdoms and hearts can still be among
her 'Conquests'.
'Conquests' is a brilliantly researched and involving
historical drama that is perfect for fans of Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory.
