'Original, atmospheric and genuinely moving . . . captures the
imagination and does not let go' Giles Kristian It's 1141 and
freezing cold. Gwil, a battle-hardened mercenary, is horrified to
stumble across a little girl close to death. She has been attacked,
just one more victim in a winter of atrocities. Clutching a sliver
of parchment, she is terrified - but Gwil knows what he must do. He
will bring her back to life. He will train her to fight. And
together, they will hunt down the man who did this to her. But
danger looms wherever they turn. As castle after castle falls
victim to siege, the icy Fens ring with rumours of a madman, of
murder - and of a small piece of parchment with a terrible secret
to tell, the cost of which none of them could have imagined . . .
'An absorbing re-creation of the 12th Century . . . this is a
fast-moving story of humbler folk caught up in cruel battles'
Independent ________ Readers are gripped by Winter Siege:
'Unputdownable . . . The characters were brought to life in
seconds. Superb!' ***** 'Mediaeval mystery at its best . . . Loved
it' ***** 'A rip-roaring, swash-buckling romp of a book' *****
