The Saxon Wolf hits the shelves
The second volume of my Fire Born series is published today! I’ve blogged about it quite a lot already so I won’t bang on too much, except to say that it is a dark, violent tale of berserkers and battle set (mostly) in 8th-century Saxony. Charlemagne is trying to annex the pagan lands of the Saxons and the might of the Frankish legions is being most fiercely resisted by one man – Widukind of Westphalia, aka The Saxon Wolf. Aiding him in his struggle are Bjarki Bloodhand – a berserker or “Fire Born” warrior, and his sister Tor Hildarsdottir, a fearless shield maiden.

I have just finished reading “The Saxon Wolf” and once again the writing is excellent! I’m not usually into blood and gore but it is well balanced with the humanity of the characters and the great descriptions of the people and places. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you, Wendy! You are very kind. I do try to balance all the bloodshed (which I think is necessary considering the nature of the protagonists) with more subtle relationships. I’m so glad you enjoyed the book! Any chance of a review on Amazon or Goodreads? Best wishes, Angus
