What secrets survive when history forgets the truth?
In a land that has not yet become Scotland, old loyalties, buried histories, and dangerous ambitions are beginning to stir.
Euphemia has returned to her Pictish homeland after an absence of twenty years, no longer the mysterious young woman who vanished, but a mother carrying a complicated past of her own.
Freia, meanwhile, faces an uncertain future after leaving Bamburgh in scandal. Now a young mother, she guards the truth of her son Frey’s paternity from a world eager to speculate.
Connecting their stories is Bishop Boniface, a formidable churchman whose pursuit of family, influence, and Pictish history reaches far beyond the walls of the church.
When an obscure manuscript begins to illuminate a past nearly lost to history, questions of identity and inheritance draw these women into a web stretching across monasteries, royal courts, and the emerging kingdoms of an untamed medieval land.
The Sacred Virgin and the Spurned Bride is historical fiction rich in character, wit, intrigue, and the texture of early medieval life, a story of motherhood and memory, faith and ambition, and women determined to find their own place in a world busy deciding it for them.
Uncover the secrets history was never meant to forget.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Banished from Bamburgh for murky reasons, Freia arrives with her fatherless child at the Northumbrian frontier court of Edinburgh. There just might be a future for them there, but much depends on the good graces of powerful men like Earl Edwin and perhaps the enigmatic Pictish Bishop Boniface. And there's always prayer. Meanwhile, the bishop's niece Euphemia has not one but two fatherless children. When her busy uncle asks her to seek out and read a new 'History of the Picts' on his behalf, she has cause to reflect on her own murky past as well as her family's. But, as illuminating as the manuscript is, the past is not everything. When the two mothers cross one another's paths, it is with hope of redemption. This item is printed on demand.
