A Daughter Scorned – the story of Adela of Hamaland and the latest in the Women of the Dark Ages series is available now in Kindle format. Free if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Set against the backdrop of the Ottonian Empire, A Daughter Scorned is the tale of one of the empire’s most ruthless and formidable women. With her father dividing his wealth unfairly between Adela and her pious sister, Liutgard, Adela embarks on a prolonged and often violent struggle to get what she feels she is entitled to. And no one, not bishops, kings, regents, or even emperors can be allowed to stand in her way!

Readers of any of my previous Ottonian books The Saxon Marriage and God’s Maidservant will have the chance to meet some old friends, although it is absolutely not necessary to have read either of those books to enjoy A Daughter Scorned as Adela’s story very much stands in its own right.

And if you have read Three Times the Lady – the story of Judith of Flanders, you will enjoy meeting Judith’s great, great granddaughters in this book. Interestingly Judith was another heroine who had problems with her father.

A Daughter Scorned will make a great read for the holiday season. You could also add it to a kindle you are giving or send direct to the kindle or kindle app of a loved one as a fabulous gift!
