Synopsis
A rousing historical debut that rescues one of England's forgotten heroes from the mists of early medieval history and brings him to brutal and bloody life
1062, a time many fear is the End of Days. With the English King Edward heirless and ailing, across the grey seas in Normandy the brutal William the Bastard waits for the moment when he can drown England in a tide of blood. The ravens of war are gathering. But as the king's closest advisors scheme and squabble amongst themselves, hopes of resisting the ambition of the Norman duke come to rest with just one man: Hereward.
But in his country's hour of greatest need, his enemies at court have made him outlaw. To stay alive―and a free man―he must carve a bloody swathe from the frozen lands outside the court.
The tale of a man whose deeds will become the stuff of legend, this is also the story of two mismatched allies: Hereward the man of war, and Alric, a man of peace, a monk. One will risk everything to save the land he loves, the other to save his friend's soul . . .

From Booklist
Move over, Robin Hood; there’s a new outlaw in town. Wilde resurrects an all-but-forgotten hero who played a crucial undercover role during the dark days of the Norman Conquest. With King Edward ailing and his court in disarray, the exiled fugitive, Hereward, a man of Mercia also known as the Devil of the Fens, takes up the cause, forming a tactical resistance unit. While the legend of Robin Hood has been sanitized over the centuries, Wilde exercises free rein with Hereward, reimagining a less-than-noble champion as both a brutal warrior and a brilliant tactician. Hereward’s sidekick, Alric the Monk, acts as both a foil to and a conscience for the darkly brooding antihero born of rage and bloodlust. Whenever Saxons and Normans collide, the blood is certain to flow, and the pages are guaranteed to turn. --Margaret Flanagan
