Crown of Ash and Oak
A BROKEN LAND. A DYING KINGDOM. A NATION HAMMERED FROM FIRE AND BLOOD. AD 878. Ancient realms have crumbled to ash. Northumbria is shattered, East Anglia enslaved, and Mercia torn apart by Norse sea-wolves. Only the freezing marshes of Wessex stand between the brutal Viking warlord Guthrum and the total annihilation of English culture. Governing this last fragile sanctuary is an ailing, bookish young monarch: King Alfred.
But the fate of Britain will not be decided solely in royal halls-it will be bought in the bloody ditches, the freezing mire, and the terrifying thunder of the shield wall. Caught in the crossfire of destiny are two unlikely guardians: Cormac: A half-blood warrior carrying both Thor's hammer and a Christian cross, forced to choose between his father's Norse kin and the Saxon people who branded him an outcast.
Bridget: A courageous thegn's daughter armed with oak-gall ink and parchment, fighting a silent war to preserve the memory, laws, and language of a dying realm. From the brutal skirmishes along the Humber to the desperate, mud-soaked battlefields of Ashdown and Ethandun, Crown of Ash and Oak drags you into Britain's darkest hour. As the cold rain falls over the Wiltshire downs, a fragile bridge is forged between the iron axe and the goose-feather quill-giving rise to a unified identity: the Angelcynn.
If you love Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom, Giles Kristian, Conn Iggulden, or Matthew Harffy, you will be spellbound by this sweeping, visceral tale of honor, identity, and raw survival.
