description: Denmark, AD 520. Fearing invasion, Cynefrid, the King of Angeln, summons a muster of fighting men to his eastern stronghold. Thegn Eadwig and his nephew, Leofric, answer the call, but they quickly become embroiled in the intrigues of the kingdom and a violent encounter leads to Leofric being charged with murder. This bloody act heaps ruin on Leofric and his family, and he is forced to flee to a remote sanctuary where he recovers his strength and plans the revenge that will ultimately reclaim his birthright. Set in Angeln on the Jutland peninsula, 'Leofric: Sword of the Angles' is a Dark Age adventure set against the background of the Germanic migrations that led to the creation of the new Angle, Jute and Saxon kingdoms in the east of Roman Britain - the Angle-Lands. The short-story 'Leofric: Sacrifice', set five years before Sword of the Angles, is also available on Amazon.
