The Doomsong Legend, the third book in the Doomsong Saga, is now published.

The predicted catastrophe leading to Fimbulwinter –eternal frozen darkness – is happening. Finn and the crew of the Guillemot have returned to take people to safety – but it is almost too late. Refugees from Finn’s island board Shipmaster Seavogel’s knarr, but Finn is attacked and the boat is caught up in a terrible storm that takes it off course. The Doomsong sword comes into quiet Seren’s hands, and puts her life in danger. Named a Guardian of the Sword, Seren learns she has inherited the Celtic oak-knowledge, and that she must use Doomsong to protect her own folk from Viking invaders.

Writing this book has taken me back to a Viking battlefield – where I grew up. Back to Celtic Defenschire and an Anglo-Saxon settlement in my ancestors’ Wessex. The story blends fact and fiction; the real history of a Viking invasion of North Devon with what might have happened, and elements of Norse and Celtic myths and legends. Fantasy perhaps, but magic and the fantastical were an important part of life before science and electricity.
