In a land teetering on the edge of chaos, the crown of England hangs by a thread. With the tragic loss of his only son, King Henry faces not only the devastating grief of a father but the relentless ambition of the predators who seek to claim his throne. As shadows gather in Normandy and England, and conspirators sharpen their knives, hope flickers dimly in the heart of a kingdom. When the last of King Harold’s Housecarls returns to England to die he brings with him a reluctant hero who will save the realm. Enter Alfraed, son of Ridley: he is not just a warrior; he is the embodiment of a new order – an English Knight destined to restore honour and courage to a disillusioned land. However, the weight of duty bears heavily upon his shoulders as he navigates court intrigues, the whispers of betrayal, and the test of his own identity.
English Knight takes readers on a journey filled with adventure and emotion as Alfraed grapples with the legacy of his father while forging a new path for a fractured kingdom. Witness the conflict between duty and desire, tradition and innovation, as he allies with unexpected companions and confronts the darkness that threatens to consume everything he holds dear.
Full of action, English Knight is the first book in Griff Hosker’s epic 20-part Anarchy series, – a collection which explores a bloody time in English history when the only people you could rely on were your household warriors and you slept with a dagger beneath your bed.
