'Like one of its own rich embroideries, cut from the cloth of history and stitched with strange and passionate lives' Emma Darwin

The third and final instalment in Carol McGrath's beautifully crafted Daughters of Hastings series, perfect for fans of Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory. The Betrothed Sister is stunning tale of the exiled Princess Gytha, daughter of King Harold II, offering fascinating insight into 11th century Europe.

It is September 1068. Thea, also known as Gytha, the elder daughter of King Harold II, travels with her brothers and grandmother into exile carrying revenge in her heart. She is soon betrothed to a prince of Kiev.

Will her betrothal and marriage bring her happiness, as she confronts enemies from inside and outside Russian territories?

Will she prove herself the courageous princess she surely is, win her princely husband's respect and establish her independence in a society protective towards its women?

Carol McGrath is the author of the acclaimed Rose Trilogy - The Silken Rose, The Damask Rose and The Stone Rose. Born in Northern Ireland, she fell in love with historical fiction at a young age, when exploring local castles, such as Carrickfergus, and nearby archaeological digs - and discovering some ancient bones herself. While completing a degree in history, she became fascinated by the strong women who were silenced in record, and was inspired to start exploring their lives. Her first novel, The Handfasted Wife, was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association Awards, and Mistress Cromwell was widely praised as a timely feminist retelling of Tudor court life. Her novels are known for their intricacy, depth of research and powerful stories.
