AD 1044, and all eyes are on the marriage of Beatrix de Hautville to Armand de Mortain.
The union could calm a tense political situation in Normandy: a young, illegitimate nobleman called William is vying for the ducal throne, and making plenty of enemies along the way.
One of these is Beatrix’s elder brother, Serlo, and it is hoped the joining of the two families will cool his anger.
Halfdan and the wolves of Odin are bound for stormy political seas. Will they be able to navigate the currents, or will they be drawn into a brutal family feud?
Wolves around the Throne by SJA Turney is published on 23 November, 2023.
