Synopsis
Enter into a ruthless, formidable world, where violent warriors seek honor in holy places and holy men seek glory in dark deeds. As the two opposing forces battle for conquest, the fate of England hangs in the balance
January, 1069: Less than three years after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the death of the usurper, Harold Godwineson, two thousand Normans march in the depths of winter to subdue the troublesome province of Northumbria. Tancred a Dinant, a loyal and ambitious knight, is among them, hungry for battle, honor, silver, and land.
But at Durham, the Normans are ambushed in the streets by English rebels, and Tancred's revered lord Robert de Commines is slain. Badly wounded, Tancred barely escapes with his own life. Bitterly determined to seek vengeance for his lord's murder, the dauntless knight quickly becomes entrenched in secret dealings between a powerful Norman magnate and a shadow from the past. As the Norman and English armies prepare to clash, Tancred uncovers a cunning plot that harks back to the day of Hastings itself. If successful, it threatens to destroy the entire conquest-and change the course of history.

Review
"SWORN SWORD delivers a dynamic story of betrayal and intrigue. ... Aitcheson manages to capture the precarious nature of the time period as well as give us a knight who not only captures our interest but reflects the changes that are coming." - Fresh Fiction
"An addictive, bloody adventure across a fantastically realized historical setting ... thoroughly enjoyable." - Shelf Awareness
"James Aitcheson's Sworn Sword tells the story of the tumultuous years following the Norman invasion, with English rebels fighting for their country and Normans fighting for what they have won." - SheKnows
"Sworn Sword is nothing if not action-packed ... This is not a volume for the faint-hearted. But there is more on offer here than just the clash of arms." - Philadelphia Inquirer
