M J Porter recommends
Odin's Betrayal (2023)
(Charlemagne's Cross, book 1)
Donovan Cook
"A fabulous Norse tale of family secrets, betrayal and conflict right up until the very last page - I loved it!"
The Alewives (2023)
(Alewives of Colmar, book 1)
Elizabeth R Andersen
"A short, sharp, snappy, hugely entertaining, medieval mystery that portrays the realities of life at the time, with just the right amount of humour to make it thoroughly entertaining. A well-deserved 5/5 from me!"
Warrior and Protector (2022)
(Saxon Warrior, book 1)
Peter Gibbons
"A superbly atmospheric tale of redemption that pitches the English against Viking raiders and resounds with the fierceness of battle-hardened warriors."
