Publisher's Synopsis
Marsnia. The Green Land.Positioned to the south of Britain and Hibernia in the Britannic Ocean, Marsnia is a land at peace, having sent the Romans packing, and then the Saxons. The newest threat to peace comes from within the kingdom. Sir Galen, recently ennobled; murderer, rapist and traitor. He plans to usurp his king and declare himself the king of all Marsnia.One person stands between him and his plans: Roland, his squire. Brutalised continually under the guise of discipline, he runs away to another kingdom in Marsnia to fight against Lord Galen. Will he succeed in his aim, or will Lord Galen overcome him and the forces of Asquith? This tale, set in the time of King Arthur, is one of brutality, intrigue and vengeance.From filthy, lice-infested villages, through plague, bitter winters and attacks by a fierce mountain tribe, known as the Korrens, to the grandest halls of a mighty kingdom, this is a tale of love, treachery and the supremacy of the human spirit.
