The Wolf’s Oath by Tim Hodkinson

8 October 2026 By Editor

In 938, Einar leads the Wolf Coats back to the northern realms to honour a comrade’s last request. When they encounter a fearsome band of mercenaries the Wolf Coats are vehemently opposed to joining forces… until a violent skirmish makes both sides realise they will be stronger together. Einar and his crew must prove themselves […]

The Haunted Tapestry by Sarah Rayne

6 October 2026 By Editor

The Fitzglens are London’s most celebrated theatrical family. They are also its most successful thieves. Their current target is a legend nobody believes in. The Tapestry of Silence. It’s said that the tapestry was woven from the blood and guilt of murderers. That the scene stitched into it is not decoration, but evidence. And that […]

Woden’s War by Donovan Cook

2 October 2026 By Editor

It’s 451 and in Britainnia Octa has returned from the Saxon lands with the army he promised — battle-hardened warriors ready to face Prince Vortimer and his allies. After a savage conflict, Prince Vortimer’s dream of becoming High King of Britannia lies in ruins. For Octa and his people, victory offers something rare: peace and […]

Christmas with the East End Girls by Jean Fullerton

2 October 2026 By Editor

East London, 1943. Georgina St John-Smythe – George to her friends – is usually the life and soul of any party. But as the East End of London prepares wearily for another wartime Christmas amid nightly bombings, she is finding it hard to muster her festive spirit, still hurting from a recent romantic betrayal. But […]

1 October 2026 By Editor

In March, 1223, Edwin and Alys receive an unexpected visit from Edric, Alys’s brother, whom they haven’t seen for years. He has fled from his home in Lincoln to ask for their help – he’s been accused of murder, declared an outlaw and sentenced to death. Edric’s story is so bizarre that Edwin thinks it […]

The Stolen Crown by Tracy Borman

1 October 2026 By Editor

The Stolen Crown explodes the myth of a peaceful, approved succession from Elizabeth I to James VI of Scotland. As revelatory new research shows, history was literally re-written on the orders of James VI to hide the truth: Elizabeth went to her grave without formally naming an heir. And so James’s rule in England began […]

Generaloberst Erich Hoepner by Philip Kay-Bujak

30 September 2026 By Editor

Erich Hoepner was a talented officer during World War One and a leading panzer commander during World War Two. Rising through the traditional Prussian roots of the Imperial Army and indoctrinated by loyalty, he became a committed supporter of Guderian’s new tank strategy of the 1920s and 30’s. By 1939 he was a corps commander, […]
