The Runes Of Victory: Isle of Sceapig, 798 AD. After Vikings arrive to raid the island, deer herder Deormund kills their chieftain and takes his sword as a trophy, unaware that there is more to the weapon than meets the eye. In time, Deormund's prowess impresses the neighboring thegn, and he's tasked by the Archdeacon of Canterbury to defend the island. But what power do the inscriptions on the blade have, and why are the Vikings so driven to reclaim it?
 
Sea Wolves: In the early 9th century, Asculf leads a quiet life among his apple orchards on the Isle of Sceapig. When called upon for military service, he covers himself in glory, and his prowess leads to a friendship with King Aethelwulf of Kent. Offered with one of the most prestigious positions in the kingdom, Asculf realizes the potential of naval power, and comes up with a plan to defeat the invading Norsemen and save the kingdom. But when hundreds of Viking longships attack the English coast, can father and son save Kent from devastation?
 
Blood Eagle: The Vikings are poised to return to Sceapig, ready to raid and pillage the small island. Best friends Deormund and Faruin, born and raised on Sceapig, have only one goal in their mind: retake the island for the Saxons. The two become chief advisers of King Alfred, who is only too aware of the horrific fate of King Aella of Northumbria, who met his end by the horrific Viking torture method knows as the blood eagle. Together with his new advisers, can he save the island from the invading Vikings?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Charles Pettifer, 75, a former Chief Planning Officer, returns from a hospital appointment having received his final sentence. He lives alone, his wife left him years ago, he is childless and friendless. 
    His health worsens. Lonely and frightened, he confides in his cleaner and his nurse, revealing events in his youth in the 1950s and 60s when he couldn’t relate to the culture of the times and was frightened of girls. 
    But the memories of his former employees and his neighbours reveal how he gained the reputation of being a bigoted, womanising bully who was forced to take early retirement, perhaps because of corrupt practices. 
    As his end approaches, he is counselled by his nurse for whom he develops a growing affection. Does he regret the way he’s behaved? It seems he might, but his will, which is read aloud to those attending his funeral, demonstrates not only these regrets, but also his desire to eke posthumous revenge on those who have crossed him. The funeral wake is calamitous. 
    It is only after his death that the nature of the problem that affected him through is life is revealed and which probably accounted for him becoming an odious little man. But it seems that not everyone thought of him that way.

    Never trust a jock. 
    That was my first mistake. When Max Green invited me to a night party on the beach, I should have known better. The Resorties are rich kids who can’t see past their own cruelty. When Max and his friends trap me in the water, the only way for me to go is down. 
    It would have been an ironic death, given that my father drowned in the very same waters. But that’s not what happened. Instead my entire world changed when the Lady of the Lake took me to a new realm, one that had been hidden from me my entire life. 
    Dragonrider Academy is a secret society I’m not even supposed to know exists. It has knights with talking swords, professors who breathe fire, and a hot guy named Killian who seriously gets on my nerves. 
    It’s his fault I’m stuck here in the first place. He wants me to be his partner and face all the challenges Dragonrider Academy has to offer. He says we’re fated to be together, that I was the one who called him! Crazy talk. 
    Or is it? 
    Whatever secret he’s hiding, I need to get it out of him before I do something stupid...like fall for the bad boy who got me into this mess in the first place. 
    Dragonrider Academy is a Standalone story. A Bonus Prologue is included with the Audiobook!
