Enjoyed this book SO much, and so glad there are sequels.  This is an excellent historial fiction read starting in 9th Century and told from a woman's point of view.  Aelfwyn has been promised in marriage to a Dane as a tribute of peace and does so most reluctantly.  We read how her character evolves and matures, and see her take charge of many facets of her husband's kingdom.  Meanwhile, her maid servant Ceridwen, of great stock and heritage, helps bring as many changes to the land and people.  This book was researched in detail, an added bonus.
