''Finch has written a blood-soaked historical epic to rank with the best'' Anthony Riches, author of Storm of War The throne of England is under threat, but one lad’s battle is much closer to home. Storm clouds gathering at England’s shores… Autumn, 1066. Saxon England, a realm at peace for fifty years, unknowingly enjoys its last peaceful harvest. For a Viking horde, led by the dreaded Harald Hardraada, circles off the north-eastern coast, while William of Normandy, a wolf in human guise, waits in the south, greedily sizing up the wealthy kingdom. …will change a young man’s future… Seventeen-year-old Cerdic, as second in line to the earldom of Ripon in northern England, is being trained for a future in the Church. But croziers and catechism do not fire Cerdic’s soul. He longs instead to be a warrior, like his brother Unferth, and ride to battle in defence of his lands. …and unseat his whole world But as the invasion fleets sail, Cerdic finds himself caught in a maelstrom that will utterly reshape the life he used to know. A catastrophic war is coming to England, and Cerdic’s wish for battle looks set to come true… Sunday Times bestselling author Paul Finch’s first historical novel is an edge-of-your-seat coming-of-age adventure in early medieval England, perfect for fans of David Gilman and Bernard Cornwell.

The Devil's Knight - P. W. Finch - Bog - Canelo - Plusbog.dk

‘And the Word was made steel … and dwelt among us.’ An invincible warrior. A saintly child. A demonic spirit cloaked in red. A Holy Land fallen into darkness. Amid the dust and mayhem of the Third Crusade, a fearsome knight, Thurstan Wildblood, ‘a man with a hole where his soul should be’, is charged with returning a female hostage to Christendom, specifically to Canterbury. Melinda of Jerusalem, they say, works miracles. She is touched by God and when she prays, astonishing cures are affected. The problem is that everyone seeks her as their prize. The crusaders captured her from an Islamic stronghold, and Sultan Saladin wants her back. The Christians themselves are divided. Richard the Lionheart believes her ‘liberation’ to England will justify this war of annihilation, but the Knights Templar are adamant the only place for her is Rome. Meanwhile, there are others in the Christian army, sell-swords and freebooters, who dream of ransom should she fall into their mercenary hands. Wildblood and his captive could not be facing more terrible odds, nor a more exhausting journey. And yet this indomitable knight has reasons of his own for undertaking the perilous quest. For he is certain he is damned. In the midst of carnage, he encountered a mysterious being – Belphagor, the ‘Bishop of Hell’ – who in return for a multitude already slain, granted him martial skills second to none. Wildblood has no concerns for the schemes of kings and bishops. He has strayed far from the light, and his only hope for redemption now lies in the delivery of this living saint to the holiest place he knows. But even Wildblood will be tested by the hardships and horrors that await him on the endless road home. He thinks he is familiar with evil. But he isn’t. Not yet. A gripping medieval historical adventure perfect for fans of Christian Cameron and David Gilman.
