The Saxon Sword by Laura Gwendolyn Hill

 

Congratulations to author Laura Hill on her debut novel, THE SAXON SWORD! This will be part of a series and I cannot wait to read it! I love the Saxon period and part of my next book will also be set in Saxon England! Be sure to check out Laura's new book!

 

Here is the blurb:

 The year is 603 AD. Seven Saxon kingdoms dominate the east of Britain while the beleaguered British plot to reclaim their land.

 

On a remote Scottish island, a baby girl, Artemis, is born. As a child, she is determined to unravel the mystery of her father’s identity. As a young woman with the heart of a warrior, she leaves home to find her father and faces many dangers on the road.

 

Fate leads Artemis into the kingdom of Northumbria where Edwin reigns as High King of Britain. In the turbulent court of King Edwin, Artemis is oath-bound to protect a princess, but can she prove her worth in a man’s world? Is she worthy of wielding the Saxon Sword?
