This year five author friends have joined me to provide an extra-special gift package for our 2024 Hug a Medievalist Day winner! We're giving away 8 autographed print books, an ebook, and some bonus prizes! We want to give you a chance to meet the prizes before our giveaway begins, so each day I will be posting a different prize and description. Here we go with:
Prize 4
An autographed print copy of A Council of Wolves: An Anglo-Saxon Mystery, by Elizabeth Springer.
England, AD 879. Called away from his own wedding to accompany his brother on an urgent diplomatic mission for King Alfred of Wessex, the young royal official Lord Edwin of Wimborne becomes suspicious of an “accidental” death that occurs during their stay in neighboring Mercia. As Edwin investigates, he uncovers a tangle of deadly ambitions around the Mercian kingship. Back at home, Edwin’s bride Molly becomes embroiled in events that may have far-reaching consequences as well.
Can Edwin unravel the true course of events in time to save an innocent man and foil a disastrous political plot bolstered by a band of renegade Vikings? When Molly finds the royal estate of Wimborne prey to neglect, embezzlers and seething local discontent, can she turn the tide and make it safe for King Alfred?
