Features & Highlights

  • AD 636, Anglo-Saxon Britain: Beobrand has land, men, and riches. He should be content. And yet he cannot find peace until his enemies are food for the ravens. But before Beobrand can embark on his bloodfeud, King Oswald orders him southward, to escort holy men bearing sacred relics. When Penda of Mercia marches a warhost into the southern kingdoms, Beobrand and his men are thrown into the midst of the conflict. Beobrand soon finds himself fighting for his life and his honor. In the chaos that grips the south, dark secrets are exposed, bringing into question much that Beobrand had believed true. Can he unearth the answers and exact the vengeance he craves? Or will the blood-price prove too high, even for a warrior of his battle-fame and skill?

A Must read series!

This is one of the most addictive, page turning historical fiction series I've ever read. The characters' emotions are felt by the reader, and the suspenseful and realistically written battle scenes are top notch.

Interesting story, distracting use of language

this is a tale about a little known period of English history. It seems to be part of a series, but I have not read anything else by this author. I have to confess my irritation at the way the author makes his characters speak. They just don't seem genuine and it is distracting . I assume the author has spent some time researching the words and spelling, and I am sure some of it is authentically used. But some of it isn't quite right at all.
