And that includes wedding a suitable queen.Osana, the wife of one of Aldfrith’s ealdormen, meets the new king at his wedding. Unhappily married, she fights her instant attraction to him.

When Aldfrith’s marriage fails two years later, and Osana is widowed, they meet once more. The attraction between them is even stronger than ever, but love and passion are the last things on Aldfrith’s mind.
