Set in the days when Good King Wenceslas ruled Bohemia between 921 and 935 AD comes the story of Emma, the young warrior princess, who faces the tyranny of arranged marriage. But then sparks fly with Podevin, the errant page.
Not only is their romance forbidden but Podevin is desperate to avenge the death of his assassinated king, even if it means being haunted as an outlaw.
Can an Anglo-Saxon princess, stuck hundreds of miles from home in a foreign court, really follow her heart when her husband does not want her? Can Emma and Podevin possibly find a secure future in the deadly, dangerous world of medieval society?
Told against a background of tenth-century court intrigue, personality clashes and warfare, Warrior Princess, Errant Page by Nigel Oakley is a gripping piece of medieval historical fiction full of war, politics and the heartache of forbidden love.
Praise for this medieval fiction book:
"Most people in the UK will probably only know about ‘Good King Wenceslas’ from the Christmas Carol, and may not even realise that he was a real person who ruled Bohemia between 921 and (probably) 935 AD. But from the bare bones of the carol and the historical facts, Oakley has created a marvellous tale of forbidden romance and blood stained politics." Amazon Review
"Nigel Oakley’s story, based on events from over a millennia ago gives us an insight into the international politics, violence, and social norms of tenth century Europe, and not surprisingly, the women have it tough!... There’s tragedy and brutality in this story, and two delightfully contrasting characters in background and temperament who, despite the barriers are drawn to each other. It’s a story that gives us a stark reminder of how dangerous and cheap life seemed to be in this time, for rich and poor alike." Amazon Review
"The warrior princess of the title is the Ango-Saxon Princess Emma, finding herself at the age of 14 travelling to Bohemia for an arranged marriage - at a time when her skills with an axe and a sword save her own life and those of others, yet she has to remain demure. It is a fast-moving plot with memorable characters. It will leave you wondering who the true heroes might be; and whether the poor man to whom King Wenceslas and the page took provisions may prove to be more than a pawn in a wider political game." Amazon Review
"In this fast-paced adventure, suitable for young and adult readers, Nigel Oakley unlocks a little-known and fascinating period of history, replete with political intrigue, warfare, violent hatreds and even a dash of romance." Amazon Review
