Killer Queen: Book Two: Poking the Beast
Revenge.
We all dream of it.
Some do more than dream.
This is a story of Queen Cynewise, wife to King Peada—and the last Pagan queen of Mercia. A handful of months after the death of her husband, her son Peada is killed by diabolical treachery—and she is left reeling.
Seventh-century Britain is a violent time, with uneasy alliances between warring kingdoms. Realms are stitched together by convenient marriages and brutal battles, and torn apart by bitter betrayals and bloody revenge. It is also a time of spiritual change, when a new Christian doctrine is sweeping the land, replacing Anglo-Saxon heathenism.
This is also a story of a woman just trying to make it in a savage world, where—much like today—choices are limited, men hold the power, and it takes courage to survive.
Note: this book has explicit violence and adult themes.
