Blood of the Stars by Monica James

My beloved England is finally saved, for I am now queen.
The rules have changed, and peace now settles over the Kingdoms.
This is the life I was destined for.
However, this life isn’t without regret because I’m missing an integral piece of my heart.
I believed we were forever.
But for England to prosper, I had to give up everything for the only man I ever loved.
And that man is Skarth the Godless.
I do not know where he is.
But this is the sacrifice I must make because a Saxon queen cannot love a Northman.
But I do.
I always have.
A love fated in the stars…stars which I wish to set alight—for what good is love if you cannot embrace it with both hands?
Skarth and I are connected in more ways than one. And when our children’s lives are at risk and everything I fought so hard for is about to be destroyed, I forget I am Queen Emeline.
I am Hugrekki.
I must find Skarth, and only one person can help me.
Ulf the Bloody.
This is our final battle—a battle of the heart—and I fear it’s a war we’re all about to lose.
Godspeed…
