Cometh the Hour

The third of my Mercian novels is the first volume of the Tales of the Iclingas, and it's called Cometh the Hour


In seventh century England, a vicious attack sets in motion a war of attrition which will last for generations. 
Four kings, connected by blood and marriage, vie for the mantle of overlord. Three affect to rule with divine assistance. The fourth, whose cousin and sister have been mistreated and whose friend has been slaughtered, watches, and waits. 

He is a pagan, he is a Mercian, and his name is Penda.

By his side is a woman determined to escape her brutal past. She aids his struggle against his treacherous brother and their alliance founds a dynasty with the potential to end injustice and suppression, if only they can continue to stand together…

A story that spans generations, and travels from Sutton Hoo to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and back to the buried treasure of Staffordshire, this is the first volume of the tales of the Iclingas, the family who ruled Mercia, fighting to avenge their kin and to keep their people free.

As well as Amazon where it can be ordered as a Kindle and paperback,
The paperback is also available at Feedaread.com
