2 copy giveaway: The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick

The fabulous peeps at Sourcebooks has given Passages to the Past 2 copies of the stupendous novel, The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick!!!!  Aren't they the best?!

I have recently had the joy of reading The Forever Queen (READ MY REVIEW) and trust me when I tell you that this is a read you will NOT want to miss!

SYNOPSIS:   What kind of woman becomes the wife of two kings, and the mother of two more?

Saxon England, 1002. Not only is Æthelred a failure as King, but his young bride, Emma of Normandy, soon discovers he is even worse as a husband. When the Danish Vikings, led by Swein Forkbeard and his son, Cnut, cause a maelstrom of chaos, Emma, as Queen, must take control if the Kingdom-and her crown-are to be salvaged. Smarter than history remembers, and stronger than the foreign invaders who threaten England's shores, Emma risks everything on a gamble that could either fulfill her ambitions and dreams or destroy her completely.

Emma, the Queen of Saxon England, comes to life through the exquisite writing of Helen Hollick, who shows in this epic tale how one of the most compelling and vivid heroines in English history stood tall through a turbulent fifty-year reign of proud determination, tragic despair, and triumph over treachery.
