The comfortable world of Jarl Dragonheart is about to be shattered as a ghost from the past leaves Norway to settle a blood feud. The Clan of the Wolf had defeated Saxons and Danes. They had helped to subdue the Hibernians but would they be able to fight those with the same blood? In a novel which ranges from Dyflin to Wessex and Wales to Man this fast moving novel charts another turbulent time in the Land of the Wolf.
I 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.
There's a lot of repeat after repeat. Dragonheart needs to show his wife a little more loven, cause behind every great man there is a great woman helping him along.
This is a real page turner but you willl be lost if you havent read the preceding books in the series. Like all Hosker's works, it is very well researched.
For this most prolific of historical novelists: "Thank You!" Would that others who write of the "game of thrones" be one tenth as faithful to their readers...
The saga of Dragonheart continues to intrigue and captivate. Enjoyable read as we are all self distancing . We can enjoy his exploits and see his family and clan grow .
