Endorsed as “gritty and dramatic fiction where you get lost in another time with a leading lady who is always ready to surprise you”, this standalone story comes ashore as European medieval history scholar Lee Swanson’s third novel.

“I adore queer fiction and interesting twists on patriarchal historical structures, and Lee Swanson delivers on these themes again and again during this exciting and dramatic novel.
