The third novel in the compelling Conquest series (1066: The Bloody Aftermath) from the author of Sworn Sword. Five years after the fateful Battle of Hastings, only a desperate band of rebels in the Fens stands between King William and absolute conquest.
Renowned for his exploits, the knight Tancred has become a lord in his own right, with men to command and a manor to call home on the turbulent Welsh Marches. A coalition of enemies both old and new prepares to march, and King William's fragile hold on England is brought to breaking point.
Tancred a Dinant, an ambitious and oath-sworn knight and a proud leader of men, is among them, hungry for battle, for silver and for land. Yet even as Tancred seeks vengeance for his lord's murder, he finds himself caught up in secret dealings between a powerful Norman magnate and a shadow from the past.
1066, The Norman Conquest: Five strangers. Five secrets. No refuge. No turning back.
