About Graven
Kindle ebook only 99 cents from May 4th – May 6th 2026.
A gritty tale of vengeance and survival in an alternate post-conquest Northumbria.
Thirteen years after the Conquest, Northanhame is a land still bleeding. Eldred is a beast-slayer—marked by a dark power he keeps hidden beneath a heavy hood. He doesn’t want friends, and he certainly doesn’t want trouble. He wants the Normander captain who left him with nothing but a crescent scar and a thirst for vengeance.
Taking work as a guard at a lord’s estate near the enemy stronghold, Eldred watches and waits for his chance to strike. But his patient game is shattered when he finds himself protecting the people of Lumlea—and worse, falling for a woman whose life is inextricably tied to the man he has sworn to kill.
Now, Eldred faces an impossible choice:
If he strikes, he shatters the trust of the woman he has come to care for. If he fails, the ghosts of everyone he lost go unavenged—and the darkness stirring inside him will consume everything left to protect.
In a fractured England on the wrong side of history, Eldred is running out of time. To win his vengeance, he may have to become the very thing he hunts.
Graven is a dark historical fantasy perfect for readers who enjoy reluctant heroes, gritty atmospheric world-building, and high-stakes supernatural conflict.
