A King’s Comrade

A beautiful young woman is sent alone across the North Sea in a boat with no oars—and never once looks back. When King Offa finds her drifting toward the Humber, her story begins with a dead father and a stolen homeland.

In early medieval England, as Danish power and Mercian rule meet along a restless coast, a chance discovery draws King Offa into the fate of a stranger whose beauty hides a perilous past. Young nobleman Wilfrid will find himself caught in the shifting loyalties and dangers that follow, where friendship and courage may be tested as sharply as a sword. The maiden says she has been cast out through no fault of her own—but what truth lies beneath her tale?
