The Raven Queen

By Mara Davisson

A crown that guarantees victory. A widow who cannot afford another defeat. A husband sworn to kill her if power claims her first.

Northern England, 1068. Lady Sigrid Haldorsdottir has buried the man she loved, defended her son from conquerors, and learned that peace is only another kind of battlefield. When an ancient crown offers victory in every conflict she begins, it seems like the weapon the North desperately needs.

But each triumph awakens a deeper hunger for war.

Tristan de Kermor, a Breton commander and heir to an oath older than Norman rule, is sent north to secure a fragile alliance. A political marriage to Sigrid should prevent rebellion. Instead, it binds two wounded enemies whose dangerous attraction grows even as Tristan hides the truth: if the crown corrupts her, his bloodline requires him to end her reign-and her life.

As ravens gather, dead warriors remember, and rebellion closes around York, Sigrid must choose between certainty and trust, between the husband she never expected to want and the power that promises no enemy will ever take from her again.

The crown can save her son.

It can protect her people.

It can make her undefeatable.

It can also turn her into the war no one survives.

A dark historical romantasy of political marriage, Celtic prophecy, grief, and dangerous devotion.
