“A tour de force of accurate history and epic adventure scenes: this is a really great book” – The School Run, book reviews for teachers and parents

Bron takes a chance to escape and join the royal warrior Sigwyn, and her leader Lord Beogard on their dangerous and daring quest. Can Bron prove that honour and bravery are not only for those of noble birth?
A tale of friendship, divided loyalties and the desire to belong, this adventure immerses readers in the Anglo-Saxon era. The story brims with details about the lives, culture and beliefs of the Anglo Saxon era..
