The first giveaway of the New Year is for a debut novel!!

Though Sarah E Zilkowski has published everything from short stories for children to travelogues, her true passion lies in the dark ages. She has amassed over ten years of expertise in Anglo-Saxon language, literature, history and culture.

Beasts of War, Sarah’s first novel, is based on her master’s thesis on the Judith poem.

Here’s one 5-star review:

★★★★★ “Beasts of War: A Retelling of the Old English Judith is a riveting novel that will grip readers from the opening pages. Historical fiction and war drama lovers will find this take on the story exhilarating. Women’s fiction readers will be overjoyed at seeing Judith’s vital role as the dramatic story unfolds.” — Literary Titan

This month’s giveaway is for an autographed, paperback edition of this unique and riveting story. I already have the ebook on my Kindle just waiting for me to step back into the distant past.

The Story

Few people in life are lucky enough to fulfill their destiny.

And even fewer have the privilege of recognizing it as it happens.

An evil warlord is wreaking havoc across England. His trail of destruction razes the land and decimates people left and right.

He must be stopped. At all costs.

When young Judith is recruited to vanquish him, she uses her beauty and her charm to get close. But once he’s within her reach, all is not as it seems. His magnetism and alluring promises weaken her. And she begins to question whether she’s on the right side of this war.

If she is to escape his pull and save her people from his sinister plans, she’ll need true love and unfaltering friendship to do it. And a little touch of fate wouldn’t hurt either …
