Hope everyone's having a great weekend! I don't think I've posted on a Sunday before, but there's a first time for everything, and I'm happy to do so to help out a great friend of mine, Mark Noce, with the release of his debut novel. Here's everything you need to know.
Praise from Bestselling Authors for
Between Two Fires
“A spirited ride through a turbulent slice
of Welsh history!” – Paula
Brackston, NYT Bestselling author of The Witch’s Daughter
“A fast-paced read that has a wonderfully visual
style and some memorable characters. Mark Noce combines Welsh history with a
touch of folkloric magic in this promising debut novel. Lady Branwen is a
strong and engaging narrator and the turbulent setting of early medieval Wales
makes a fine backdrop for an action-packed story.” – Juliet Marillier, Bestselling author of Daughter of the Forest and
Wolfskin
Synopsis of Between Two Fires
Saxon barbarians threaten to destroy
medieval Wales. Lady Branwen becomes Wales’ last hope to unite their divided kingdoms
when her father betroths her to a powerful Welsh warlord, the Hammer King.
But this fledgling alliance is fraught with
enemies from within and without as Branwen herself becomes the target of
assassinations and courtly intrigue. A young woman in a world of fierce
warriors, she seeks to assert her own authority and preserve Wales against the
barbarians. But when she falls for a young hedge knight named Artagan her world
threatens to tear itself apart. Caught between her duty to her people and her love
of a man she cannot have, Branwen must choose whether to preserve her royal
marriage or to follow her heart. Somehow she must save her people and remain
true to herself, before Saxon invaders and a mysterious traitor try to destroy
her.
