Aaron's Story (War Leader)

England in 1066 had a new king, William the Conqueror, a man beset with rebellions. His War Leader, Lord Voth, discovers his captain has an illegitimate son, a boy who has run away from his step-father and possibly killed him. The boy joins the War Leader as a page at the age of thirteen, and grows up in Lord Voth’s household as a servant, returning to court at sixteen as Voth’s squire. With his deep blue eyes and blond hair, Aaron has already seduced a village maiden, attracted the advances of a young man at court, and finds himself turning to fist-fighting as a way of protecting himself from unwanted male attention. He grows to be a fearless champion of the weak, taking tremendous risks, and finding the unobtainable woman – the Viking princess from the previous volume in this trilogy, War Leader. The romance/action-adventure story can be read as a stand-alone story or as the sequel to War Leader. Footnotes in the story are provided for the novice medieval reader.
