Publisher's Summary

She holds the fate of England in her heart.... The Queens of the Conquest trilogy. It's 1066. Three Queens. One Crown.

As a young woman in England's royal court, Edyth, granddaughter of Lady Godiva, dreams of marrying for love. But political matches are rife while King Edward is still without an heir and the future of England is uncertain.

When Edyth's family are exiled to the wild Welsh court, she falls in love with the charismatic King of Wales - but their romance comes at a price, and she is catapulted onto the opposing side of a bitter feud with England. Edyth's only allies are Earl Harold Godwinson and his handfasted wife, Lady Svana.

As the years pass, Edyth finds herself elevated to a position beyond even her greatest expectations. She enjoys both power and wealth, but as her star rises the lines of love and duty become more blurred than she could ever have imagined.

As 1066 dawns, Edyth is asked to make an impossible choice. Her decision is one that has the power to change the future of England forever....

The Chosen Queen is the perfect blend of history, fast-paced plot and sweeping romance with a cast of strong female characters - an unforgettable read.

Great read/listen

The narrator was great as was the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen.
The only thing that aggravated me was the use of the term “gifted” in regards to receiving a present.
This term certainly would not have been used in the 1000s and was only coined in recent years and is very much an Americanism.
