Set during William the Conqueror's reign, these historical fiction novels span 1046-1087.
A powerful historical novel about the human will to survive, as a family is torn apart by war, and struggle to find one another again.
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.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This book includes graphic scenes of violence that depicts a dark time in history. Historically, before he became King of England, William the Bastard secured his duchy by gouging out the eyes and cutting off the hands and feet of his prisoners. He then catapulted them into the town of Alencon, whose barons were not accepting of him as a nobleman. This is a story of a family William seeks vengeance upon. Though this book and the full three book series falls under the romance genre, this is not a typical romance of fairy tales and happily ever afters.

In the final book of the family’s long journey, the fight has just begun.
Duke William is now King of England, but the English will not rest until they have pushed him off English soil. To secure his place under the Crown, King William sends his troops 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. King William put a great deal of time into creating his perfect killing machine and believes the mighty House of Tresche will try to reclaim him. He knows the brother will serve as perfect bait to bring the rest of the family under his control once again.
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?
