Hi,

I've just published Leofric: Land of the Franks, the sequel to Leofric: Sword of the Angles.

“Land of the Franks sees Leofric join the hero Beowulf on a raid against the Franks of northern Gaul. In the aftermath of battle, Leofric finds himself alone in a hostile land and has to forge new alliances, and complete a bizarre quest before he can tread the path to freedom.”

If you’d like to find out more, please visit my author page: S.J. Arnott.

Feast of the Raven. In a war between the old gods and the new, a Christian warrior invokes a ferocious wolf demon. Torn between ancient magic and the new Christian order, Gerwulf and Europe will never be the same.

Meticulously researched, Gerwulf’s quest is inspired by true events and authentic beliefs and mythologies of eighth century Germany. His story is woven into Charlemagne’s savage conquest and conversion of the pagan Saxons to Christianity.

Critically acclaimed by Kirkus Reviews and BlueInk Review!
"Superbly written and impeccably edited, this page-turner, the first installment of Spader's Wulfhedinn saga, is comparable to bestselling releases by iconic writers such as Sharon Kay Penman, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro." BlueInk Review Starred Review

"...Spader writes in an easy, rambling prose that luxuriates in all the medieval details of her world, from the weapons to the textiles to the smells of camps and woods....Sequels are planned, and they are welcome: the reader should be eager to see what other secrets Spader’s vast medieval forests might yield."
