An Anglo-Saxon princess in the Scottish court
Newly crowned Margaret is learning to navigate her role as queen and as wife to a fierce warrior. When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Margaret and her family fled to Scotland, where she was hurriedly wed to Malcolm, King of the Scots. With her family by her side she must adapt to the customs and culture of her new homeland, in the often chaotic aftermath of the Norman conquest.

When a beggar at her door turns out to be a high born lady, Margaret learns of a family destroyed by the Norman invasion.
