Excerpt from Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel, (787-1001 A. D.): With Supplementary Extracts From the Others, a Revised Text, Edited, With Introduction, Critical Notes, and Glossary It remains for me to express a few of the most prominent obligations which I have incurred in the preparation of this little book. For the glossary I have naturally made constant use of the new bosworth-toller 'anglo-saxon Dictionary, ' also of Mr. Sweet's 'anglo-saxon Reader, ' the glossary to which contains an excellent selection of words. Grein's monumental Sprachschatz der angelsachsischen Dichter' has also been of the greatest service, especially with reference to the poetical passages in the Chronicle.

A Viking adventure, packed with battles, blood and gore, Raven is historical fiction at its very best, and marks the debut of an outstanding new talent. For two years Osric has lived a simple life, apprenticed to the mute old carpenter who took him in when others spurned him. But when Norsemen from across the sea burn his village, Osric is taken prisoner by these warriors. Their chief, Sigurd the Lucky, believes the Norns have woven this strange boy’s fate together with his own, and Osric begins to sense glorious purpose among this fellowship of warriors. Immersed in the Norsemen’s world and driven by their lust for adventure, Osric proves a natural warrior and forges a blood bond with Sigurd, who renames him Raven. But the Norsemen’s world is a savage one, where loyalty is often repaid in blood and where a young man must become a killer in order to survive. When the Fellowship faces annihilation from ealdorman Ealdred of Wessex, Raven chooses a bloody and dangerous path, accepting the mission of raiding deep into hostile lands to steal a holy book from Coenwolf, King of Mercia. There he will find much more than the Holy Gospels of St Jerome. He will find Cynethryth, an English girl with a soul to match his own. And he will find betrayal at the hands of cruel men, some of whom he regards as friends.
