The Northern Queen by Kelly Evans

This is a novel by a very good friend of mine, Kelly Evans. It is set in 1002 AD, a time when Vikings and Anglo-Saxons were struggling for power and control. It begins with the St Brice's Day Massacre, which saw countless Danes being murdered. This leads to war between the Danes and the Anglo-Saxons. Two woman stand at the heart of the struggle. Both are strong and determined to achieve what they want. Love, ambition and revene wrapped up in an epic struggle for justice.

I love the style of this novel. I would recommend this to anyone who loves history, espeically when it comes to the Vikings. Politics, history, intrigue and war. Definitly worth the read.
