Historical Novels Review
"Sampson gives a vibrant portrait of both the people and the
places in the book. She writes with great vivdness about her subject, which
ensures a constantly engaging story. There are dangerous and swaggering
warriors, cautious and thoughtful priests, and a pragmatic and wise queen.
Sampson masterfully draws them all together to make the story of
AUgustine's bringing of the christian faith to England an absorbing and
rewarding read."
S. Garside-Neville

Product Description
Princess Bertha of Paris is shocked to learn of her impending marriage to the heathen king of Kent. But their barbaric world is dramatically changed by the coming of Augustine from Rome, on a mission to impress his hero, Pope Gregory the Great. As the new arrivals face hostility and murder, the powerful king sees a way of using Augustine to further his ambition. However, Bertha's eldest son is in league with the banished priests and she knows her husband's vengeance will be terrifying should he find out...In this Anglo-Saxon world on the threshold between pagan beliefs and Christianity, the feisty Bertha and the timorous Augustine form an unlikely alliance.
