Thanks to Katy Lynch of Sourcebooks, I’m giving away one copy of The Splintered Kingdom.
Book Description:
Betrayed by a rival, imprisoned by the Welsh, and forced to do the impossible…
Wales, June 1069: Tancred a Dinant, the beloved hero of Sworn Sword, is now a lord in his own right, with knights and a manor of his own. But all is far from peaceful, as Tancred is betrayed and taken prisoner by the Welsh, the woman he loves is taken hostage by enemy English forces, and the Vikings invade the east coast. Never has Tancred faced a more impossible situation. In this ruthless, formidable world, violent warriors seek honor in holy places and holy men seek glory in dark deeds. Tancred must fight not only for the life and people he loves, but for his homeland’s very survival.

I’ve seen this book around a bit and it seems to be very authentic. The author is a student of the period an I think his research has been quite detailed. I’m looking forward to the whole series.
A fascinating historical. thanks.
I like books from this time period and books with Vikings. I love the cover! and this giveaway ends on my husband’s and my dog’s birthday. How cool is that!
For such a small area, Wales seems like an interesting spot for this historical. I’m usually reading about the historical British royalty.
I’m interested because it sounds like an exciting read, and I would enjoy the history.
