Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Yorkshire, 1086. Her father is dead. The King's surveyor arrives in three days. And the law says everything he built is no longer hers to keep.Under the old ways, Eadgyth could have stood before the hundred court and claimed her father's hall in her own name. Under the new ones - the ones that arrived with the Conquest - a dead thegn with no living son is simply an opportunity. And opportunities go to Normans.So Eadgyth does the only thing left to her.She becomes her brother.Cropped hair. A borrowed name. A household sworn to a lie that could get them all killed if it unravels. It should be enough. It has to be enough.Except a Norman neighbour is circling the gates with a marriage proposal built on secrets he hasn't quite guessed. The King's commissioner has a habit of noticing exactly the wrong things. And somewhere on the road south, a monk is walking home to bury a father - and finds a stranger sitting in his chair.One death. One disguise. One inheritance the law says was never hers.The Domesday Deception is a fast-paced, wickedly funny, quietly furious tale of grief, deception, and one woman's refusal to let a law she never agreed to decide what she's owed - perfect for readers of Ellis Peters, Bernard Cornwell, and anyone who's ever wanted a cozy mystery with real teeth.
