7 January 2021 By Editor

Historia has put together a list of books to look out for in 2021 from HWA members – an overview of the best in historical writing published this year.

The Three Paradises by Robert Fabbri

7 January 2021 By Editor

Alexander the Great’s sudden and unexpected death has left the largest, most formidable empire the world has ever seen leaderless. As the fight to take control descends into ruthless scheming and bloody battles, no one – man, woman or child – is safe. As wars on land and sea are lost and won, and promises […]

The Wolf Hunt by Tim Hodkinson

7 January 2021 By Editor

Iceland, AD 935. Einar Unnsson is destined to be great. When he fights, a frenzy comes upon him. It makes him lethal in battle so lethal he just defeated the man his own father sent to kill him. Now, with Einar exiled from his kingdom, his father turns his vengeance on Einar’s mother, his escaped […]

A Remedy In Time by Jennifer Macaire

7 January 2021 By Editor

San Francisco, Year 3377. A deadly virus has taken the world by storm. Scientists are desperately working to develop a vaccine.

But when Robin arrives at […]

The Lifeline by Deborah Swift

23 December 2020 By Editor

England, 1617, and Susanna Cobbett, teenage daughter of a powerful Worcester landowner, is found dead in a gloomy woodland pond which has an evil reputation as the Witching Pool.

Cross of Fire by David Gilman

10 December 2020 By Editor

Winter, 1362. After decades of successful campaigning in France, Thomas Blackstone, once a common archer, has risen to become Edward III’s Master of War. But the title is as much a curse as a blessing. Success has brought few rewards: his family – bar his son Henry – is dead, slaughtered; his enemies only multiply. […]

Sons of Rome by Simon Turney and Gordon Doherty

10 December 2020 By Editor

As twilight descends on the third century AD, the Roman Empire is but a shadow of its former self. Decades of usurping emperors, splinter kingdoms and savage wars have left the people beleaguered, the armies weary and the future uncertain. And into this chaos Emperor Diocletian steps, reforming the succession to allow for not one […]
