Rite Of Conquest by Judith Tarr
Publisher Comments For 500 years the Saxons ruled England, crushing the ancient powers. But across the Channel in Normandy, William is born-the bastard son of a noble duke and a magical woman of Druid descent-whom history will name The Conqueror. William becomes a warrior without peer, but his temper and disregard for his innate magical abilities prevent him from achieving his true destiny as King of England. Only the beautiful French noblewoman Mathilda can offer him the help-and love-he needs to succeed...or his imperfectly controlled abilities may destroy him. Mass Market
