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

This book is a long time in coming. I read some where once, that you should write what you would like to read. I hope this book is the path to just that.

<span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;line-height:20px;color:#cccccc;">Who doesn't love a good story? Sharlow's <strong><a href="http://redirect.authonomy.com/ViewBook.aspx?bookid=11731" style="color:#99aadd;">Story Tellers</a></strong> is an intriguing book of fiction and fantasy. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Story Tellers</span> is brought to life by the excellent prose, engaging characters, magical plot, and overall fine writing.<br /><br />Perhaps one of the best fantasy novels I have viewed in quite some time, we hear the story of three heroes, magical creations through the use of stories, and self-discovery. A highly recommended, delightful read of its genre.---- <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;border-collapse:collapse;">© L.
