Blood Feud: Earls of Northumbria Book III
HA Culley
In eleventh century England there are two ways to resolve a killing: the payment of weregeld to the family of the dead or the declaration of a blood feud where a life for a life is the only acceptable payment.
Aldred and Eadulf, the sons of Uhtred of Bebbanburg, succeed in killing one of their father's assassins, but his accomplice thinks himself safe until one night Aldred lures him into a trap. The ensuing blood feud will continue for over half a century. It's a violent age and, with King Cnut trying to govern Denmark and Norway as well as England, Aldred and Eadulf must keep their lands safe from marauding Scots, Norsemen and Cumbrians without help from the rest of England. At the same time the brothers' safety is constantly threatened by the ongoing feud. This enthralling tale about life, politics and warfare in the time immediately before the Norman Conquest is a must for lovers of this period in history.
