A powerful historical novel about the human will to survive, as a family is torn apart by war.
The year is 1066. The Duke of Normandy has arrived on English soil, quickly quashing any uprising from the native Saxons and wresting the crown from King Harold. The men of Tresche are a strong Saxon family. Made up mostly of bastards, the men are warriors from the moment they are old enough to hold a wooden sword in their tiny hands. Nothing could prepare them for the army of Duke William, and nothing could prepare them for the losses they suffer at the Battle of Hastings. They are left with only their memories of the past as they embark on a journey to bring the shattered pieces of their lives, and their family, back together. |

"After reading the first book of the series I could not wait to see what happened to the family. Since I love a good book with a strong female this book was perfect for me! Ash fought, she mourned, she raged, she was a human stuck in war. I can't wait to read the final book."

The story of a family that carries on, even when it seems impossible.
Duke William has crowned himself King of England, but the English will not rest until they have pushed the King off English soil. To secure his place under the crown, King William sends his troops north to begin the Harrying of the North. Among his arsenal is the man who has become known as the Devil’s Hand. He and his army leave nothing but death and destruction in their wake as they do the King’s bidding. But William doesn’t trust the Devil’s Hand, a man he named Roan the Traitor. The King put a great deal of time into creating his perfect killing machine, and he does not trust that the mighty House of Tresche will not try to reclaim him. As the battleground at Hastings quieted, only one member of the House of Tresche was free. Now there is only one of them left under William’s thumb, and his family wants him back. It is no longer a battle for the crown, but one for a family torn apart by war. Will the mighty House of Tresche succeed in freeing Roan? Or is it too late to save the man once known as Roan the Fearless? |
