Bold

'The bold one,' they call her-too bold for most. To her father, the great duke of Poland, Swietoslawa and her two sisters represent three chances for an alliance. Three marriages on which to build his empire. But Swietoslawa refuses to be simply a pawn in her father's schemes; she seeks a throne of her own, with no husband by her side. The gods may grant her wish, but crowns sit heavy, and power is a sword that cuts both ways. A Macmillan Audio production from Forge Books

The web of love and lies is thicker than ever as we reunite with players spread across the board of Europe in this gripping sequel to “The Widow Queen.” In “The Last Crown”, our heroes and enemies alike are beholden to the hands of fate. While Olav Tryggvason reclaims the throne of Norway and baptizes the land by blood, King Sven in Denmark is filled with rage at his once comrade. Not only does Olav threaten Sven's hold on Norway, but also his hold on his own wife, the woman with two crowns, three sons, and a heart long spoken for. Swietoslawa, the Bold One. Meanwhile, those Swietoslawa trusts most-Astrid, her sister; Sigvald, her brother-in-law and head of the Jomsvikings; and even her own son, Olaf-take shocking, selfish actions, with consequences that will reverberate for years to come. For the storm of unrequited love destroys all in its path.
