This story is a work of historical fiction based on real people and
events. It describes a troubled royal marriage during the course of
one year in AD 675. Mercia and Northumbria have long been at war.
There is an unexpected romance. King Aethelred of Mercia and Osryth
of Northumbria decide to marry. Aethelred gives Osryth a wedding
gift of valuable treasure gleaned from the battlefields of the
past. She decides in secret to take the treasure along with the
remains of her long-dead uncle to a shrine in Bardney in
Lincolnshire. Osryth faces many challenges and setbacks on her long
journeys to places such as Whitby, Lincoln and later York. The loss
of the gold, silver and jewels causes a rift in her marriage. The
mystery looks unlikely to be solved. Will the treasure ever be
found and will the couple ever be reconciled?
