Introducing The Eagle Will Rise

The Eagle Will Rise – The Sundered Kingdom Book 1 -7th May 2026

I do know this might not be quite what readers are anticipating, and just to make it clear, I’ve not finished with the story of Coelwulf, but I gave two suggestions for my next series with Boldwood. Ultimately, they opted for The House of Mercia, but the other idea has taken a firm hold in my mind, not least of all because I’ve always planned on continuing the story after, well, after what we all know must happen when a book is called The Last King. (I never thought the series would become quite so long, but the characters are just so much fun to write).

So, coming soon is the first book in what I think will be a trilogy, The Sundered Kingdom, charting events in the 880s.

Releasing 7th May 2026.
