May of Teck, only daughter of a noble family fallen from grace, has been selected to marry the troublesome Prince Eddy, heir to the British throne. Submitting to the wishes of Queen Victoria and under pressure from her family, young May agrees. But just as a spark of love and devotion arises between the young couple, Prince Eddy dies of influenza. To her horror, May discovers she is to be married to the brother, Georgie, instead, a cold and domineering man. But what can she do? From the author of The Prince of Mirrors comes this gripping account of the life of Queen Mary, one of the most formidable queens of Britain.
' Clark takes an iconic and forbidding figure and transforms her into a passionate, loving and damaged woman. ' - Simon Russell Beale; ' This is a heart-breaking tale and no mistake. A beautiful and lyrical tale told with deft brilliance' - John Sessions; ' Atmospheric and vividly imagined. ' Valhalla' brings to life a woman who had otherwise seemed frozen in history; it' s theme of royal duty still all too relevant. ' - Margaret Drabble; ' ' Valhalla' is a beautifully crafted novel that succeeds in bringing Queen Mary vividly to life. ' - Elizabeth Mac Donald, author of ' A Matter of Interpretation'
