About the author
Griff Hosker
305 books419 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.

The worst thing about reading a great series of book like this is - it is going to end. This is the last book in the series.
I really enjoyed reading this whole series, I went from book to book without a break. It was very engaging with great characters and a fabulous continuing story line development.
If you like historical fiction you will find this series packed with detail about how people lived, what they valued at the time of the Saxon invasion of the islands that became the United Kingdom.
I recommend it. It’s a little violent, particularly during battles but the story doesn’t focus on the violence and the descriptions are clean and not ghoulish.
