The Harrowing by James Aitcheson

7 July 2016 By Editor

The Harrowing CoverIn the aftermath of 1066, a Norman army marches through the North of England: burning, killing and laying waste to everything in its path. The Harrowing has begun.

As towns and villages fall to the invaders, five travellers fleeing the slaughter are forced to band together for survival. Refugees in their own country, they journey through the wasteland, hoping to find sanctuary with
the last stand of the Saxon rebellion. But are they fleeing the Normans or their own troubles?

Priest, Lady, Servant, Warrior, Minstrel: each has their own story, each their own sin.

As enemies past and present close in, their prior deeds catch up with them and they discover there is no sanctuary from fate.
