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
The beginning of this story is actually based on an experience I had at my last place of work. As the story goes on, I embellish and turn it into a real fantasy filled with magic, fairies and unicorns.

<p><em>Before I begin to refresh your memory about some of the options and available services here at Outskirts Press, I want to give you my overall impression of your work: You have a terrific writing style. You have obviously done a significant amount of planning and preparation in crafting your work. Your prose is nicely written with details that capture the reader. Right from the start your plot was very engaging and I really enjoyed the character you created in Destiny. You do a nice job of slowly making your way through the story with details and a certain voice that allows your reader to really interact with the characters (who are all round and very nicely developed). Characterization is one of the most important elements of a successful fiction story. I always love it when I leave a story feeling like I know the characters. This is true of your novel. You have crafted another quality piece of writing</em></p>
