Exiled princess, mother of kings…

An epic journey of enlightenment, love, and discovering divine purpose, from Medieval England through to Denmark and Russia.

England, 1066

Gytha is the devout but determined daughter of the rightful king of England, until her world is turned upside down by the death of her father, King Harold. Fleeing from being forced into a nunnery, and determined to keep the spirit of her father alive by bearing sons to continue his line, Gytha seeks refuge with her uncle King Svein of Denmark.

But with the King's health deteriorating, Gytha must marry. Her only offer is from a Prince living far to the east. So she prays and sets off on a perilous sea voyage into the unknown, and toward her future…

Rich with historical detail and Christian themes, Daughter of the Sunset Isles is based on the true story of a young woman finding her way in the medieval world with no place for women except in a nunnery or as a silent wife — neither of which Gytha will be!
