In Saxon England of the 1060s, the prospects for Owerd are grim. He is a Briton; son of a miller; and looks like a Dane. The Church beckons, as does a warrior life but he must first learn his 'station' with frequent humiliation. Fate lends a hand in rewarding his courage but as his lot improves the Normans invade. Does he fight them or aid them? His loyalties are tested by events involving violence, loss, love and fate as he tries to manage the balance between security and oppression.
Shortlisted, UK Historical Fiction competition.
