Publisher's Synopsis
The history of England in 1066 was shaped by a remarkable succession of unlikely events. Some felt they were not only unlikely, but unnatural, .. A grieving King designates no successor before his own death. In defense of their kingdom the Saxon nobility elevates one of their own. Yet men of equal audacity answer this act with war; war that will obliterate all that England knew of itself and its people. The friendship between a newly crowned King and his strongest champion will prove the hardest battleground either man has ever known.
