The Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choice
One of Book Riot’s Must-Read Medieval Novels
“A beautifully crafted epic tale of adventure, love and courage, worthy of the greatest Medieval Minstrels.” Karen Maitland
“Kate Innes’s glorious first novel is a lyrical joy. Up there with the best of Patricia Bracewell and Elizabeth Chadwick, it offers utter immersion in an intricate, plausible world.” Manda Scott
"An utterly delightful novel that kept me reading into the small hours. Very Enjoyable.”
Helen Hollick for the Historical Novel Society
England 1284
The uprising in Wales is over, the leader gruesomely executed, the dead are buried. But for Illesa Arrowsmith, the war’s aftermath is just as brutal. When her brother is thrown into the Forester’s prison on false charges, she is left impoverished and alone. All Illesa has left is the secret manuscript entrusted to her – a book so powerful it can save lives, a book so valuable that its discovery could lead to her death.
When the bailiff’s daughter finds it, Illesa decides to run, and break her brother out of jail by whatever means. But the powerful Forester tracks them down, and Illesa must put herself and the book at the mercy of an unscrupulous knight who threatens to reveal all their secrets, one by one.
Inspired by the seductive art of illuminated manuscripts, The Errant Hours draws from the deep well of medieval legend to weave a story of survival and courage, trickery and love.
Fans of authors like Elizabeth Chadwick, Sharon Kay Penman, Conn Iggulden, Ken Follett and Patricia Bracewell will love its gritty realism, compulsive narrative, vivid characters and beautiful prose.
"A skilful mix of stories and an intricate and very gripping narrative. I enjoyed it immensely."
Dr Henrietta Leyser - Oxford Historian and author of Medieval Women
The Errant Hours is the first book of The Arrowsmith Trilogy, which follows the life of courageous and resourceful Illesa Arrowsmith as she confronts the physical and spiritual dangers of Plantanget Britain. It is followed by All the Winding World and Wild Labyrinth.
Kate Innes trained as an archaeologist, teacher and museum education officer before turning to writing full time. She lives in Shropshire near some of the locations in The Errant Hours.

Store description
Originally started as an amateur venture, Seagull Books has grown into a knowledgable and reputable on-line book vendor. Our inventory is growing all the time, and we are constantly updating our stock with the latest finds. Whilst we do not currently offer a book tracing service, we are always happy to hear from customers looking for a particular title, and may just be able to help. We specialise in out-of-print books - particularly paperbacks - and never cease to be amazed at what is no longer considered worth publishing! Many of our customers clearly share that view.…
