A triumphant continuation of the ‘Northumbrian Thrones’ trilogy; these tales are bringing to life a forgotten time, when being a King was a dangerously unpredictable job to hold. The story now races ahead to Oswald who witnessed the death of his father in the first book ‘Edwin: High King of Britain’. This story feels even more complete than Edwin’s, knowing Oswald’s background helps to give flesh and emotion to this man and an appreciation of the difficulties battering his very existence. The authors explanation of the Houses, the glossary, pronunciation guide and historical note are helpful and allow you to gallop through the pages alongside Oswald and his brother Oswiu. Beautifully balancing history and fiction, this novel lays before you enthralling battles of wit, of power and survival with a strong inner core of authenticity. ~ Liz Robinson
