Once a Queen: Lady Elfrida: England's First Queen (The King's Mother)
Description:
Lady Elfrida is restored to the royal court, and to her son and his ever-growing family. Tasked with raising her grandchildren, Lady Elfrida understands the honour her son has endowed her with, even while it forces her to stay distant from the day to day running of the court.Æthelred, free of all meddling influences from his youth, takes steps to undo his childish mistakes, but despite the success of the peace accord with king Olaf of Norway, England is still a too tempting target for Raiders keen to make their fortune, and Æthelred, even now, is not the warrior king his father was.As the years pass, Lady Elfrida appreciates that her power and influence has grown, not diminished, as she holds the key to the future in the shape of her grandsons and granddaughters. But she must face one more trial to ensure the future of England. And this one might just be impossible to surmount for England's first queen, dowager queen, and now, the grandmother of the future of the House of Wessex.The King's Mother is the first part of a trilogy.Suggested reading order:The King's MotherThe Queen DowagerOnce A QueenPraise for The King's Mother."An excellent read about a strong, intelligent woman!!"

And of course the Anglo Saxon Chronicles. Amazing!!!" Amazon Reviewer"Such a good insight to the time and people and the real game of thrones." Amazon ReviewerABOUT THE AUTHORI'm an author of fantasy (Viking age/dragon themed) and historical fiction (Anglo-Saxon, Vikings and the British Isles as a whole before the Norman Conquest), born in the old Mercian kingdom at some point since the end of Anglo-Saxon England. Raised in the shadow of a strange little building and told from a very young age that it housed the bones of the long-dead kings of Mercia, it's little wonder that my curiosity in the Anglo-Saxons ran riot. I can only blame my parents!I write A LOT. You've been warned!Find me at www.mjporterauthor.com and @coloursofunison on twitter
