Fatal Rivalry: Part Three of The Last Great Saxon Earls
Description
<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>
Story Behind The Book
Seattle wasn't exactly love at first sight. With the general greenness everywhere, plethora of unfashionable people dotting the landscape and streets whose names illogically disappear when you cross them, it was a bit of a challenge to admire. Then, slowly, I came to appreciate the city's quirkiness. It was, after all, welcoming to someone like me who is known for his quirks. Eventually, I learned to love and was fascinated by this evergreen pasture and just had to write about it.
Reviews
<p>"A little of everything, like tapas for the brain. Short stories are good, novellas are really good. Like being able to run the spectrum of emotions in one book - a satisfying read. " Cary Terra, owner of Terra Therapy.</p>
