Today’s Featured Book is the Historical Fiction, The Shieldmaiden’s Honour by James Calbraith.
Though Princess Madron had helped her husband Honorius defeat the four-year-long revolt, and was blessed with a second child – a son – dark clouds are still gathering over the Dux’s throne. The rebellious nobles remain unplacated, the borders are still aflame, and a new menace of the Gewisse Saxons threatens the lines of trade and communication with the rest of Britannia.
Worse still, the old Dux Ambrosius is dying. Before he leaves this mortal world, he wants to ensure his legacy, and secure the inheritance of his son, Honorius – and the newly-born grandson – against the rebels and barbarians. To this end, he agrees to an alliance with the Bishop of Lindocoln on the eastern coast – a coast ravaged by a mysterious, newly arrived pirate fleet.
Madron joins her husband and his warriors on a expedition to aid the Bishop – but as she ventures into the inhospitable marshes around Lindocoln, she’s about to discover a conspiracy of vast proportions, stretching far beyond the Narrow Sea, all the way to the Imperial Gaul and Frankia.
Second book in Lady Madron’s saga, an epic adventure of sword and intrigue spanning Arthur’s Britain and Clovis’s Frankia!

“This was a good “who done it” with many twists and turns. Good cast of characters. It was well written.” -READER
“I had a hard time putting this book down. Excellent writing and story. My only problem was, at times, figuring out some of the words, but then tried to read with a brogue…. I recommend this book and the author!” -Amazon Review
