Wyrd Of The Wolf: Among the upheaval of 7th century England, nobody is safe. Ealdorman Aelfhere believes that for his only daughter, sixteen-year-old Cynethryth, marriage to a Saxon king is the way to security. And so, against her own wishes, Cynethryth is betrothed. But when Cynethryth is taken prisoner by the warrior invaders, she is forced into the presence of another Saxon king, who would also have her for his wife. Allying against her father in a grisly war, she becomes a key element of events that continue to influence England today. In The Name Of The Mother: It is 689 AD and Cynethryth is returning from Rome, carrying her dead husband's child. She soon gives birth to a son, Aethelheard, whose parentage alone places him in danger.

How will mother and son face the physical and spiritual battles that await them? The Wyvern's End: It is AD 726 and King Ine of Wessex, tired of rebellion and internal strife, decides to leave his kingdom to someone younger and thus, the door open to contending rival factions. Among the men with a claim to the throne is Aethelheard, Caedwalla's son. To secure the throne he has to overcome other aethelings encouraged by the wayward nun, Wynflaed, engaged in a personal campaign of revenge with Aethelheard’s mother Cynethryth, Abbess of Wimborne. The Wyvern's End is an epic tale of faith, ambition, and treachery.
