Scotland. 1263. The scent of rain mingles with the smoke of campfires as word spreads: the Norse are coming…
When the fearsome Norse fleet is espied approaching Scotland's shores, carrying the greatest invasion force ever seen, the dread of battle settles over the land. Summoned to Ayr Castle, sixteen-year-old squire William Douglas joins the Scottish forces in a desperate defense. Now tasked with serving his newly knighted brother, Hugh, William has little time to dwell on the thrill of his first real taste of war.And once the Norse's menacing line of ships finally touches shore, Scotland's fate may rest on more than noble titles and knightly deeds— it'll take the mettle of every soul on the ground for them to triumph.
Set against the wind-swept coast of medieval Scotland, On a Sword's Edge takes you right into the center of The Battle of Largs alongside a mere – yet fearless – squire. Readers who enjoyed The Last Kingdom or Outlaw King will also love this fast-paced tale of gritty battles and a hero with much yet to learn.
Coming soon, the next in the series, Call of the Cross.
