After the Norman Conquest the monks of Ely open their island in the fens to Saxons who will not submit, and Hereward returns to claim his lands and lead the resistance. Monasteries, feasts, ambushes, a Norman lord named Ivo Taille-Bois and the marshes themselves fill a story grounded in the history and topography of the Fen country.

A vivid tale of Saxon resistance in the fens, for readers who like their history with monks, outlaws and ambushes. Download the free EPUB.
