About the author
Griff Hosker
306 books427 followersI was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.
When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.
My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.

I went straight from the fourth in the series to this, the fifth, without a break. These stories are too good to put down, you have to keep reading until you find out what happens before you can stop.
One of my favourite things about these books is each of them contains a number of story arcs in sequence, instead of in parallel. That means there are a number of satisfying points in each book rather than everything culminating only at the end.
I can’t wait to start the next one. Which I am about to do as soon as I finish this.

Another rousing tale
This book gives much more insight into most of the Warlord's family and his faithful warriors. All in all,I liked this one best so far. I do however find the trip to Constantinople somewhat questionable.
