Synopsis

Aurelius Ambrosius is the rightful king of Britannia. He has built up an army like the Roman legions of old, but he knows it is not enough. If he is to win the support of his fellow Britons he must find the Sword of Albion to prove his right to the kingship. But others are looking for that sword, among them, the "proud tyrant", Vortigern. Aurelius goes on a perilous quest through crumbling Roman cities, the rugged Pennines and Angle-occupied territory, while Vortigern tries everything to stop him, including making a fake sword, but while these two Britons are battling for supremacy, the Angles and Saxons, led by Hengest, are invading from the North Sea.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I was brought up in Conisbrough, went to Station Road School, and have lived at various times on Daylands Avenue, Roberts Avenue and Castle Avenue. The town, with its rich history and magnificent castle, has been an important influence in my life and has inspired some of my best work. I read English at St David's, Lampeter and Leeds University, and am now a teacher and writer.

I started by writing poetry - but nobody read it, so I tried another of my interests: Dark Age fiction - Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and so on. I know what you're thinking (get a life!) but it's a popular niche, and I found that people were actually reading my books. I also write Science Fiction, Jane Austen sequels, all sorts of other stuff - and more poetry (poetry is like a drug for me and I can't give it up). I also write education publications, mainly study notes, which sell far more than anything else I write. Every now and then I return to my major project which is a Dark Age Pentalogy intended to be 1000+ pages long (it's a prose version of my book, Angleland, which is available in etext and paperback). I'm up to page 25 at the moment (just kidding - I have a draft of the whole thing, but it's going to take a lot more long and lonely nights to make it readable). I am always delighted to receive feedback on my books and can be contacted at xopherw@hotmail.com.
