A collection of four medieval historical novels by John Broughton, now in one volume!

Angenga: When Rick Hughes receives a reliquary pendant as a gift from an old friend, he has no idea what's coming next. Drawn to an old excavation site, Rick stumbles upon a portal that takes him back to the 8th century, and in the middle of a Viking invasion. After discovering a shocking link to the present, Rick is determined to intervene and save the inhabitants of the village from devastation - and to find a scientific explanation for what is happening. With the perils of 8th century England surrounding him, can Rick save his new friends - and live to tell the tale?

John The Old Saxon: In his darkest hour, hiding in the depths of the Somerset marshes in 878 AD, King Alfred devises a scheme to save his kingdom from the Viking invaders. His spectacular success, beginning with the triumphant battle of Ethandun, involves creating a sense of nation among his subjects. To help with this, Alfred gathers a small band of brilliant foreign scholars in his court, chief among them John the Old Saxon. In this epic tale set in medieval England, you'll discover how King Alfred laid the foundations for a united country, and the tenth-century Anglo-Saxon Renaissance.

Perfecta Saxonia: Abandoned by his father and raised by his uncle, young Athelstan faces numerous adversities on his way to becoming a mighty warrior and diplomat. But can he overcome the odds to transform England from an insignificant island off the Western European mainland, into the leading centre of tenth-century diplomacy and learning? Discover the story of one of the most important English kings, who put in place the foundations of modern-day England.

Ulf's Tale: At the start of the slaughter-marred eleventh-century, nine-year-old Ulf is taken hostage by King Aethelred. It's the beginning of a life of luxury and opportunity for Ulf. But treachery and plotting throughout the country threaten uneasy alliances, while ambitious rivals attempt to seize power for themselves. His own life threatened, Ulf embarks on a quest for unity to bring peace to the Baltic states. But will his own moral convictions be enough to overcome divided loyalties, religious clashes and ambitious kings?
