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
I have to admit that the idea for the story involving a week of Will Gailey's life came out of the blue. I write fiction concerning the biblical End of Days, but this story is a departure from that theme.
My protagonist Will is in physical, mental, and spiritual pain because of an event that's shaken the very core of his existence. Because of the pain he has a "Jones" that he knows he needs to get free of. Can he kick the Jones? Because of his trauma his personality has changed, but does he ever become his old self again? He places the blame for all of this malady on someone who should be his hope and his peace; does he ever come to reconciliation with this "someone"?
Does Will even recover and survive? You'll have to read the story to know the answers to that question and so many others!
