Daughter of the Wolf by Victoria Whitworth

Northumbria, 859.

In England before the Norman Conquest, a land ruled by rival kings, Radmer of Donmouth is guardian of the estuary, the gateway to Northumbria. When his king sends him on a mission to Rome, Donmouth is left in the safekeeping of Radmer's only daughter, Elfrun.

But powerful conspiracies are being woven, and deadly rivals are circling, ready to take advantage of Donmouth's young and inexperienced new ruler.

'A beautiful, rich tale ... the deep joy of this book is in its portrayal of everyday life in a harsh time. Gripping and highly recommended' The Times.
'[Whitworth] has crafted something very clever - it's a stirring epic journey at first glance, but on a deeper level there are really fascinating questions raised about the nature of fate, duty, and loyalty ... the deep historical detail and the beautiful descriptive language makes this a really cracking read' The Bookbag.

'Colourful and packed with memorable characters, this novel is richly imagined and very readable' BBC History Magazine.
