Synopsis

It is AD 726 and King Ine of Wessex, tired of rebellion and internal strife, makes a pilgrimage to Rome. In an announcement, he decides to leave his kingdom to someone younger and thus, the door open to contending rival factions.
 
Among the young men with a strong claim to the throne is Aethelheard, Caedwalla's son: a brave warrior and brilliant strategist. To secure the throne he has to overcome other aethelings encouraged by the wayward nun, Wynflaed, engaged in a personal campaign of revenge with Aethelheard’s mother Cynethryth, Abbess of Wimborne.
 
The third novel in John Broughton's 'Wyrd Of The Wolf' series, The Wyvern's End is an epic tale of faith, ambition, and treachery, where the fates of kingdoms hinge not only on battles, but on the unseen maneuvers of those who walk the shadowy halls of power.

    The new novella in the Coorah Creek series. Pitch perfect romance for readers of Karly Lane and Rachael Johns. 
     
    It might take some Christmas magic to make this outback town feel like home… 
     
    Eager to make a real difference, English nurse Katie Brooks has travelled halfway around the world to work on an air ambulance in outback Queensland. She was prepared to be a fish out of water, but she hadn’t anticipated how challenging the isolation would be. And she’d certainly never expected to be rescued on day one by Scott Collins: Coorah Creek’s prodigal son, who might just be the best thing about the town. 
     
    Meeting Katie is the one bright spot in Scott’s reluctant return to his childhood home. He has nothing but bad memories of growing up. He once vowed never to return, but now he needs to put old ghosts to rest, before beginning a new life as far away as he can get. 
     
    Katie is determined to stay. Scott is just as determined to leave. Can a small-town Christmas change their minds?
