The noble families of Europe are tearing themselves apart in their lust for power and wealth.
Emma, Queen of England, is in agony over the succession to her husband Canute’s throne… while her brother, the Duke of Normandy’s sons battle in the wake of his death.
Robert, the younger son, has been cheated of Normandy’s mightiest castle and sets out to take it by force. He emerges from a bloody siege victorious and in love with a beautiful – and pregnant – peasant girl.
Robert’s child will be mocked as William the bastard. But we have another name for him… Conqueror.
THE LEOPARDS OF NORMANDY trilogy tells the story of William the Conqueror in all its dramatic glory – a world seething with rivalry and intrigue, where assassins are never short of work.
The fight for the Royal crown of England continues in the second and third books of the trilogy, DUKE and CONQUEROR.
