The widow queen  Cover Image Book Book

The widow queen / Elzbieta Cherezinska ; translated by Maya Zakrzewska-Pim.

Summary:

"Elzbieta Cherezinska's The Widow Queen is the epic story of a Polish queen whose life and name were all but forgotten until now. The bold one, they call her-too bold for most. To her father, the great duke of Poland, Swietoslawa and her two sisters represent three chances for an alliance. Three marriages on which to build his empire. But Swietoslawa refuses to be simply a pawn in her father's schemes; she seeks a throne of her own, with no husband by her side. The gods may grant her wish, but crowns sitheavy, and power is a sword that cuts both ways"-- Provided by publisher.
