Turold & Afelgiva: Volume 1 of Turold the Storyteller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739542955)

Turold and Afelgiva. Two names stitched into history. If only we knew why ...

At the rough end of Europe, darkness may be lifting, but the sword still speaks loudest. And Normandy intends to be heard.

Turold d'Abetot is a second son. Too short for Norman knighthood, too stubborn for a priest. But he has rarer gifts. A voice that speaks directly into the minds of the powerful. A ring that binds him to a creature of dubious morality. At a time when war with Brittany is on the horizon, Turold is a teller of tales, a witness to - and sometime shaper of - events.

Across the sea, Lady Afelgiva fights her own battles. Royal blood is no protection from rejection and illness. But Afelgiva can hear things she should not. As England's great king fades away, what she discovers will seal the fate of nations.

One war ends. Another looms. Turold and Afelgiva still know nothing of each other but a name.

For now.
