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'.
