The web of love and lies is thicker than ever as we reunite with players spread across the board of Europe in this gripping sequel to The Widow Queen. In The Last Crown, our heroes and enemies alike are beholden to the hands of fate.

While Olav Tryggvason reclaims the throne of Norway and baptizes the land by blood, King Sven in Denmark is filled with rage at his once comrade. Not only does Olav threaten Sven’s hold on Norway, but also his hold on his own wife—the
woman with two crowns, three sons, and a heart long spoken for. Swietoslawa, the Bold One.

Meanwhile, those Swietoslawa trusts most—Astrid, her sister; Sigvald, her brother-in-law and head of the Jomsvikings; and even her own son, Olaf—take shocking, selfish actions, with consequences that will reverberate for years to come.

For the storm of unrequited love destroys all in its path.
