This post follows on from my last blog entry 'Folklore of the Nix', which you can read here.

WULFSUNA is a book about battles: physical battles of blood
and carnage, mental battles against pride and fear and emotional battles of
torn responsibility, love and betrayal. It is also a book mostly about men. The
Seaxen (Saxon) tribe of the ‘Wolf Sons’, whose name is the book’s title, is a
war-band of viking warriors. Many of the women they knew are either deceased,
too infirm to travel or have chosen to remain in Germania.
The book opens with the tribe’s arrival in the east fens of
Bryton (Britain) and follows their journey inland, to a long-destined meeting
between two halves of a tribe, separated by sea and some twenty years apart. However,
amid all the sweating oarsmen, helmeted nobles and axe-wielding warriors is one
who is stronger than all of them; she is a Seer and her name is Morwyneth. Who
is she? Well, so far she has been shadowed by her more muscular counterparts
and so I felt it was time for her to emerge; for the world (who have not yet
read my book) to know the woman behind the wolves of the WULFSUNA.
