From the ashes of Saxon England rises a hero for the ages.

Book One in the Aelfraed Trilogy

Set in the years before the Battle of Hastings the story follows the trials and tribulations of Aelfraed, a young boy who aspires to be a warrior. When his uncle, Aethelward, takes him to join the warriors of Harold Godwinson, his life is irrevocably changed. Fighting the Welsh brings him great honour and when he saves the life of Edward the Confessor, he becomes a man of great reputation. The novel culminates in the battle of Stamford Bridge when the Housecarls defeated the last of the Vikings, Harald Hadrada.©2016 Griff Hosker (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd

Very enjoyable story. Hosker weaves history into the narrative well showing the Saxons as a rich and vibrant culture.

Great story

Not Hosker best, characters are a 2 dimensional. Narration is terrible, sounds like he’s reading to 5 year olds, struggled to finish.
