Torn apart by war, bound by love: can Podevin and Emma survive the battle lines that divide them?

When his sons stumble across a Saxon raiding party, the outlawed Podevin is drawn back into his former world of warriors, battles and deadly politics.

With Podevin's identity revealed, Duchess Emma of Bohemia asks him to travel from Prague to Saxony, to discover the truth of how her sister, the Saxon queen, died.

Negotiating misunderstandings with both former allies and enemies, Podevin unwillingly joins the plot to attack his homeland. Emma, meanwhile, faces deadly plots orchestrated by her own husband.

With divided loyalties, and in constant danger, can Podevin and Emma keep those they love safe, and finally be reunited?

This historical fiction novel, set in tenth-century Bohemia and Saxony, explores issues of love, loyalty and betrayal and continues the story of Emma, the Anglo-Saxon Warrior Princess, and Podevin, the former page and bodyguard to Good King Wenceslas. Podevin has sworn to be Emma's friend and servant, but can be no more, as Emma has been unhappily married to Duke Boleslav, heir to the Bohemian kingdom. Can the star-crossed lovers survive the deadly medieval politics and return to their homes?
