Dark Under the Cover of Night (The Kingdom of the East Angles #1)
Jayne Castel
A king's daughter, the son of his sworn enemy - and a reckoning...
Nearly 1,400 years ago, a king was buried in a treasure-filled longship on the banks of the River Deben in Suffolk, England. It is the burial site of Raedwald, the charismatic king of the
East Angles.
This is the story of his daughter, Raedwyn.
It is 624 A.D. and Raedwyn has just been married to one of her father's ealdormen. The marriage is a political alliance, rather than a love match, and on her wedding night Raedwyn realizes that her new husband is a callous brute. A bleak future awaits her.
However, fate has other plans for Raedwyn the Fair.
Outlaws ambush her new husband's party on their journey back to his long ship and Raedwyn finds herself captive of a bitter, vengeful warrior - Ceolwulf the Exiled. Ceolwulf has a score to settle with King Raedwald and Raedwyn is his bargaining tool.
Caelin, Ceolwulf’s enigmatic son, follows his father on his quest for revenge. Fiercely loyal to her own father, Raedwyn isn't prepared for her wild attraction to Caelin - or for its consequences.
Theirs is a passion that could tear a kingdom apart...
