Blurb for THE CROSS AND THE CURSE

Preparations for the publication of THE CROSS AND THE CURSE are moving on apace. I've done most of the formatting and started writing the acknowledgements. Plans are afoot for a photo shoot for the cover. The latest thing I have been working on is the blurb for the back cover.

BRITAIN 634 A.D.
Before The Battle of Hastings.
Before Alfred fought the Danes.
Even before England. 

Warlords battled across Britain to become the first King of the English. 

When Beobrand’s valour brings about a stunning victory against the native Waelisc, the King of Northumbria rewards him with riches and land. Beobrand wishes for nothing more than to settle on his new estate with his bride. But he soon finds himself beset with enemies old and new, even fearing the power of a curse has him in its grip, as he begins to lose all he holds dear. 

With treachery and death surrounding him, Beobrand confronts his foes with cold iron and bitter fury. On his quest for revenge and redemption, he grudgingly accepts the mantle of lord, leading his men into the darkest of nights and the bloodiest of battles.

UPDATED with change in red.
