This a collection of four novellas. There is Wolf Killer from the Dragonheart books. He is the son of Dragonheart, and this is the story of revenge as he pursues Danes across ninth-century England. Then there is Wolf who fights at the Battle of Hastings and his story tells of the end of the Godwin dynasty and Saxon England. Robert of St. Michel is from the Anarchy series of novels. Left behind in the Holy Land, it is the story of many Christian knights who sought a better life in Outremer but found the land and the Turks too great a foe. Wulfstan is the story of one Saxon warrior who learned to become a housecarl and how he became a warrior who could fight in the Varangian Guard.
This is a series of stories culled from the pages of the notes from my novels. There is Wolf Killer from the Dragonheart books. I killed off Wolf Killer too early in the series because I felt he was taking away from the real story, that of his father. Then there is Wolf who comes from the Housecarl series and his story enables me to tell the tale of the Battle of Hastings. There are characters I sketched out and did not fully develop, like Robert of St. Michel from the Anarchy series of novels. Wulfstan only appeared in the first Anarchy novel but I wanted to fill in the back story of how men joined the Varangian Guard and why. This compilation is one of, what might become, a number. We shall see. I hope you enjoy this sample of my work.
Volume 2 will encompass the modern era from the Napoleonic Series to World War 2.
