James Wilde, the pseudonym of Mark Chadbourn, a two-time winner of the prestigious British Fantasy Award, has written a number of widely praised modern fantasy novels. He is also the author of The Time of the Wolf and The Winter Warrior, both available from Pegasus Books. Wilde lives in the heart of a Mercian forest in England.
"Two mighty warriors play an uncharacteristic cat-and-mouse game in Norman England in Wilde's saga about the legendary English insurgent, Hereward. This is the equally vivid yet alternate viewpoint to James Aitcheson's series (Sworn Sword; The Splintered Kingdom) about the Norman conquest of England, which covers the same place and time period from the Norman perspective. Those who read novels for the history and the battle action will want to be familiar with both authors in order to judge which side to root for." -- Library Journal "This is a masterful tale, graphic and gory, and loaded with medieval history." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With this fast-paced and exciting novel, we are drawn into Hereward's world from the off. The battles are bloody, and the boggy landscape is as treacherous as those who walk it. Having enjoyed this book so much, I will be seeking out Hereward's first two adventures and look forward to the next." -- Historical Novel Society, Editor's Choice "James Wilde realizes his goal of turning an obscure historic character into a warrior legend." -- Kirkus Reviews
