(Chronicles of the Black Lion, book 1)
Richard Cullen
"This is a thrilling start to a new series, sure to appeal to fans of the genre and those interested in the events of King John's reign and the fabulous William Marshall in all his wonderful glory."

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)
