The Widow Queen (The Bold, #1)

Swietoslawa's father, the great duke of Poland, sees his three daughters as three chances for an alliance, as three marriages on which to build his empire. But Swietoslawa will not be simply a pawn in her father's schemes; she seeks a throne of her own, with no husband by her side.

This bold daughter may get her wish but will also learn that crowns sit heavy, and power is a sword that cuts both ways.

The Widow Queen is a story of royalty and betrayal, of star-crossed loves and exiled kings, and of motherhood and womanhood in a world and time ruled by men.
