The Widow Queen (2021)
(Bold, book 1)
Elżbieta Cherezińska
"Fascinating, authentic, and beautifully told, The Widow Queen is the story of a forgotten Polish princess in an era of warriors, the headstrong, clever Swietoslawa--twice a queen, mother of kings. An impressive and compelling story brought vividly to life!"
