From Flanders to her new home in Normandy, the Lady Matilda's life is always on the fringes of European power. She and her family weave their influence through ambassadors and churchmen, as well as more occult methods. When her husband, William of Normandy, invades England, she becomes its first Queen. However, his tenuous hold as King over the country ensures that they live closely with paranoia and rebellion. Cultures, languages and religious interpretations collide in Norman England, and Matilda finds herself reliant on the English mystic, Agnes, for comfort. Agnes shows Matilda a future so shocking that the new Queen will do everything in her power to prevent it, including rebelling against her husband.
