The Queen's Quiet Crown HG
💔👑 In a world of war and whispers, one quiet queen must keep her crown from slipping - even as her own mind turns against her. 🌿⚔️ In an alternate history of King & Conqueror, Harold Godwinson never weds the famed Edith, but instead takes Edris, a gentle and introspective noblewoman whose quiet grace masks an unspoken struggle. Timid yet perceptive, Edris wins the affection of Harold's family - especially his wise father, Godwin, and his spirited siblings. But in a court built on ambition and blood, her inner battles remain unseen and unnamed: the relentless rituals and silent compulsions that no healer can understand. As Harold's reign teeters on the edge of Norman invasion, Edris must navigate the chaos of war, love, and her own uncertain place as a queen without heirs. Her story is one of invisible strength, devotion tested by destiny, and a mind trying to find order in a world unravelling. My take on the BBC's show King & Conqueror. I own nothing but Edris. I will make slight changes to the plotline versus what actually happens in history.
