A pawn in a game of battling kingdoms, Ada de Warenne's powerful enemies work against her and Prince Henry mac David of Scotland.
From the moment she and Henry are kidnapped weeks after they're wed, she's thrown into the war for the northern lands of England. As she quietly gives birth to Scotland's future kings and follows a legacy of pious Scottish queens, she strives to settle into her new home and love and care for the people of Northumbria.
But enemies are constantly at work to destroy her family, and soon it becomes apparent that if she doesn't uncover the true identities of Henry's enemies, she'll lose him as well as her sons.
A Pawn for a King is written by Countess Ada de Warenne's 24th great granddaughter, Sara Hinze. After discovering Ada while researching family history, Sarah felt an instant connection and admiration that drew her to walk the lands of England and Scotland and spend years researching her ancestor's life. What Sarah discovered was that Ada, although living in medieval times, had unprecedented independence and blazing courage that opened a new path for all future royal women of Europe.
