December, AD 902. King Æthelwold of East Anglia falls in battle, leaving behind a kingdom—and a daughter.
Elinor is crowned queen in a world where women rule only by extraordinary strength or divine destiny. Bound by duty and driven by a longing for peace, she weds a Danish chieftain in a bold bid to unite two warring peoples.
But unity comes at a cost. Elinor suffers loss upon loss—of children, of love, of the simplicity of youth. After bonding with Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, Elinor must confront Viking raiders, broker peace, and build a new foundation for a fractured land.
A sweeping historical adventure, THE LAST HEIR OF EAST ANGLIA is a story of friendship and the power of one woman to reshape a kingdom.
