Wessex Stories

Cwen of Bebbanburg had known death. It frequented her life more than she could say in a short amount of time. And yet life had taken its course when Uhtred, her brother, was taken from her and she was kept in Bebbanburg, in a home that did not feel like a home. As she grows, taking care of her cousin and surviving under her uncle, Cwen finds that she cannot survive for long as long as Aelfric feels threatened by Uhtred. It takes all the power she knows she does not have to find her brother and gain her freedom. (The Last Kingdom Season 1 - The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die)

A blend between the emotionally rich and socially rigid world of Thomas Hardy reimagined in a the fictional American New Wessex. A period drama with all the scandal of Real Housewives.

"I'm just a page, Your Majesty. What could possibly go wrong?" Ollie Amber-Rose Dawson, Duchess of Wessex, never asked for this. Being a page for a 22-year-old king? Absolutely not on her to-do list. But, as usual, life didn't care about her plans. When Ollie's forced into the royal court, she's ready to face off with stuffy nobles, fancy dinners, and the world's worst case of imposter syndrome. But what she wasn't prepared for was King George III-yes, the same King George III-staring at her like she'd just walked in with a goat under her arm. And the peonies? Don't even get her started. Oh, and did we mention Thomas Foxcote? Ollie's new bestie (and totally not the romantic rival to George)? Yeah, he might have a hand in this whole mess too. It's a hot mess, but at least she's good at making things worse. Chaos, confusion, and an undecided romance await...

The two men are forced into closeness in an underground dungeon as tensions in Wessex rise, and Aethelflaed, her men, and Uhtred's men are on the hunt to rescue them.

'i must abide by the duty that was brought upon me by God and the King; no matter how fearful that road may be.'

Born the youngest of six children to Ethelwulf of Wessex and his wife Osburga, Alfred was never meant or expected to be King of Wessex, the greatest of the English Kingdoms of the time. Through battle and sickness Alfred was thrust into the Kingship as a young man suffering with Ulcerative Colitis and facing down the Great Heathen Army, the largest Viking army ever assembled up to that time by the grandsons of Ragnar Lothbrok, hell bent on taking all of England. Faced with such dangers Alfred nearly faltered, but his faith in God, his people, and his elder brother Edwulf helped him pull through. In this biography, created through using both documents close to the time period such as the Anglo Saxon Chronicles, Asser's biography of the King, and retrocognition, the ability to see the past through dreams, I tell Alfred's life story from his time in Rome as a boy to the great Battle of Ethandune where England's fate was decided.

"You are a bastard, born to a Heathen's seed. You are nothing." "I am a woman," she replied simply. "I am everything and more."
