Publisher's Synopsis
The year is 641 and the great Oswald of Northumbria, wide-ruler over England, must battle against an alliance of the old Britons and the Saxons led by Penda of the Hwicce, the victor of Hædfeld nine years before, the only Saxon leader seemingly immune to his beguiling talk of the new Christianity spreading through England from both the north and the south.Alliances will be made and broken, and the victory will go to the man most skilled in war craft and statecraft.The ebb and flow of battle will once more redraw the lines of the petty kingdoms stretching across the British Isles.There will be another victor and another bloody loser.Praise for Pagan Warrior"M. J. Porter has written a story of one battle - Haedfeld - which will change the face of England. And written it very well indeed, for the dialogue is sharp and whilst the day-to-day descriptions are fairly sparse, the telling of the battle is gripping." HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW"M J Porter brings the period to life that you feel you are really part of the story." Amazon Reviewer"First class story combining historical facts and fiction well in a wonderful novel." Amazon Reviewer"Another book on the Dark Ages, written in an interesting style of first person, taking in the views of each of the lead characters from their perspective."
