The Fatal Betrothal

Fifteen year old Genevieve Godwinson is furious when her mother, Lady Eleanor, announces that Gen is now betrothed to non other than Prince Harold, the heir to the throne of England. But this is no ordinary betrothal. It is the year 1136 and Prince Harold is descended from William the Conqueror. Genevieve is the great-granddaughter of Harold Godwinson, former king of England. He was slain by William during the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Now, with Henry I dead and his son not yet on the throne, the Normans and the Saxons are are again at odds, with the Saxons trying to put the Godwinsons back in power. Lady Eleanor and Queen Jane know that the best way to end this dispute is an alliance between their families; a royal marriage. But with Genevieve and Harold both strongly against this scheme, it is only a matter of time before the entire country is overrun by chaos....
