Fen-wolf

By S. Pitt

England,1066. Edward the Confessor is dead and Hereward, estranged son of Eorl Leofric of Mercia, returns from exile. But his lands have been ceded to his nephew, Morcar; peace is short-lived, and when Norman invaders murder his foster-brother, Hereward turns from thegn to outlaw and rebel leader. As the Normans tighten their grip and uprisings fail, men flock to join his band, the Fen-wolves, at Ely, the Isle of Refuge. Soon the whole Norman army is on its way, resolved to destroy Hereward and, with him, the last centre of English resistance. But even when the Isle falls by treachery, the fight continues . . .

Narrated as if by Hereward himself, Fen-wolf is an intimate portrait of this most enigmatic and uncompromising of heroes, a man prepared to lose everything rather than submit to tyranny.
