Fresh from his defeat of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings,
William of Normandy has returned home in triumph, accompanied by
the English nobles he cannot trust to leave behind. For Waltheof of
Huntingdon, however, rebellion is not at the forefront of his
thoughts. From the moment he catches sight of Judith, daughter of
the King's formidable sister, he knows he has found his future
wife. When Waltheof saves Judith's life, it is clear that the
attraction is mutual. But marriage has little to do with love in
medieval Europe. William refuses to let the couple wed and Waltheof
joins an uprising against him. William crushes the rebellion but
decides the best way to keep Waltheof in check is to agree to the
marriage. But is the match between Saxon earl and Norman lady one
made in heaven or hell? As their children grow, Waltheof and Judith
must choose between their feelings for each other and older
loyalties... Based on an astonishing true story, THE WINTER MANTLE
reaches from the turbulent reign of William the Conqueror to the
high drama of the crusades...
