Synopsis

After his father’s treason, young Godwin Wulfnothson fights to save his village from violent retribution.

The BBC/CBS King and Conqueror told the story of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Yet the previous half-century, that brought Saxon England to its fate, is largely unknown. It was even more dramatic, even more bloody.

It is the era of King Aethelred ‘The Unready’, of Knut (Canute), Edward the Confessor, and Lady Godiva. Among these great names, it is Godwin who is destined to rise from his ignominious roots, to become the most powerful man in the land.

Meanwhile shepherd boy Walt barely survives after Vikings kill his family. Handmaid Fleada is tied to the fortunes of her mistress, herself a pawn in the manipulations of the cunning Eadric ‘The Grasper’ Streona. And Prince Edward struggles with his confusing feelings for his best friend.

Beset by Viking raids, and hindered by the plotting of their own nobility, can the English resist the tides of Danish power and Norman ambition?

Part One of The Crown and The Arrow – the dramatic saga of Saxon England, as it moves inexorably towards its fate in 1066.

“First-class historical fiction”
“A bubbling cauldron of excitement, intrigue and lust”
"Deserves to sit on the same shelf as Bernard Cornwell, Ken Follett and Patricia Bracewell"
