About Ravens Hill:

When Harald, the second son of King Cnute, returns from fighting the king’s enemies in Northern Wales, he expects his life to return to normal⸺farming in the Midlands, overseeing his few tenants, evening walks with his beloved Selia⸺an idyllic life, far from the power-mongering of King Cnute’s court. But the king has other plans for Harald and his wife—he grants them a large landholding, a gift they cannot refuse.

On arriving at their new holding, Ravens Hill, Harald and Selia receive a tepid welcome⸺from belligerent housecarls, a conniving steward, an uncompromising abbess, bitter at not adding their estate to her abbey lands, a priest with roaming hands, and a grieving daughter of the previous landholder, who has entered the nunnery.

Harald and Selia wish to improve the lot of their tenant farmers but they face obstacles at every turn, and Harald’s generosity is seen as weakness. They also learn the lands come with an unexpected millstone—an unsolved murder.

And then the trouble begins.

Fans of Bernard Cornwell will love Ravens Hill—part of the award-winning Atheling Chronicles series.

The Bow of Destiny by Paul Smith

Loss and uncertainty taunt Athson with haunting visions and whispers. Orphaned at an early age, he grapples with hallucinations, including the presence of a faithful dog that exists solely in his mind. But these unsettling reminders of his past have returned with a dream.
Bound by a promise to his dead father, Athson desires a peaceful life rather than a legendary bow prophesied to defeat a dragon. Yet, his reluctance only deepens his peril, as the menacing dragon and a cunning wizard seek the bow – and his life.

Unwillingly thrust into a destiny he never sought, Athson embarks on a harrowing quest more like a march toward his own demise than a triumphant quest. Along the way, his haunting past confronts him until he uncovers the impossible – a secret which either empowers his destiny or leads to a vengeful fate.

With danger lurking at every turn and the boundaries between reality and madness blurring, Athson navigates a treacherous balance of truth and secrets. Who can he trust when enemies circle like vultures? Will he muster the strength to seize his destiny against all odds, or will he succumb to the darkness that threatens to engulf him?

Join Athson on this gripping adventure, where the fight for survival intertwines with the search for destiny, and every choice promises salvation or destruction.
