Good King Wenceslas is more than a Christmas carol; this fast-paced work of medieval fiction combines politics and warfare with the dangers of everyday life in the middle ages. 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. Anglo-Saxon Princess Emma is thrust into the World of Good King Wenceslas and his brother Boleslav the Cruel. Betrothed to Boleslav's son, who does not want her, her only friend is Podevin, Good King Wencelas's page and bodyguard. But when Wenceslas is assassinated, their roles are reversed, Podevin has to hide in the forests around Prague - but further plots are discovered, endangering both their lives.
