Young and beautiful Gytha Godwinson is the envy of England when her father Harold seizes the country’s crown in early 1066. But soon, treachery tears her house apart and triumph turns to terror. An evil star appears, heralding the end of an era and a new beginning for Britain. Her family and the country seem cursed. Yet even as she suffers loss, betrayal and humiliation, Gytha is determined to regain what is rightfully hers.

A female retelling of the dramatic and heart-wrenching events of the slaughter-stained year of 1066: from the ashes of her father's cursed kingdom, one woman makes a new empire emerge.
