Emerging from the tragedies of 1066, what next for the Anglo-Saxons?

#HistoricalFiction Rising from the Ruins mybook.to/Risingfromth...
#ebook #paperback #KindleUnlimited 📚⚔️

A smoky orange background shows a nightmarish battle scene with the silhouettes of warriors, some on horseback, wielding swords, bows, and axes. The text reads An epic voyage begins. After the defeat at Hastings, the failure of rebellions and the devastation of the North, England desperately needs a new hero. Will Siward of Gloucester be that man? Beside the text is historical fiction novel Rising from the Ruins. The cover features the nightmare battle scene with a long-haired man in a mail shirt and a blonde woman in a brown dress and hood. https://mybook.to/RisingfromtheRuins

Up for pre-order now,

Starting at Day 12 of the story, the tale is then told through chronological chapters from different characters POV. I certainly didn’t guess the perpetrator.

The twinkification of hobbits in Jackson's Lord of the Rings is such a colossal shame. This is the hobbit form factor people crave.

Fierce winds drive off snow & ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine. There is a whole world of drama & grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, & especially so for Patagonia!
