Book Description:
Normandy. 1067.
England has been brought to its
knees by the invasion of William the Conqueror and his Norman troops.
Lady Catheryn, an Anglo-Saxon
noblewoman, is taken against her will to Normandy after the invasion.
She arrives, a prisoner, at the
castle of Lord Geffrei, a ruthless invader who hopes to gain a ransom for her.
Her husband Selwyn is dead, slain
in the Conquest, and her daughter Annis has been left behind in England at the
mercy of the invaders.
Catheryn is treated like an
animal, and left in a cell until she begins to despair.
When Queen Matilda, William the
Conqueror’s wife, sees her plight, she takes pity on her.
Catheryn is sent to the castle of
the noble FitzOsberns – but will her new captivity be any better than the
cruelty she faced at Geffrei’s hands?
She finds her hostess cold and
embittered, but when her husband William FitzOsbern returns from the Conquest,
Catheryn’s heart is torn by unwanted emotions.
She becomes entangled in the
quarrels and heartbreaks of her jailers even as she tries to remember her place
among them.
Is she falling in love with the
man who helped to destroy her homeland?
Can Catheryn betray her
Anglo-Saxon roots, and her late husband?
Or will she break free, and find
her way back to Annis?
‘Captives’ is a moving historical story
of love and loss, and the strength of one woman even in the most dangerous of
times. It is the sequel to ‘Conquests’.
'An enthralling saga.' - Robert Foster,
best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.
