Step into the shadow of Framlingham Castle, where history and fiction entwine in an epic saga of power, loyalty, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.

Set against the rich tapestry of medieval Suffolk, this novel transports readers to an era where the fate of the realm hangs in the balance, and the line between hero and legend is drawn with a sword.

In the heart of this tumultuous landscape, meet Eadric, a nobleman with a strategist's mind and a warrior's heart, and Edward, a jester with the wit to influence kings and the courage to face dangers untold.

Together, they navigate the intricate web of court politics, ancient secrets, and a burgeoning revolution that could alter the course of history.

Blending meticulous historical research with thrilling fiction, this novel offers a vivid reimagining of a pivotal period in England's history.

Join Eadric and Edward as they navigate the challenges of life in medieval England, where every decision shapes the future, and the journey to become a hero is just a heartbeat away.

Blake Patrick

Blake Patrick brings nearly three decades of frontline police experience to the literary world. Serving as a bastion of law and order in the UK for 29 years, Blake dedicated his career to the pursuit of justice, not only as a detective unravelling the intricate webs of criminal minds but also as a Family Liaison Officer, providing a compassionate bridge between the force and the families touched by tragedy and crime. Retiring the badge, Blake has since brandished the pen, channelling years of amassed knowledge, humanity, and street-smart wisdom into writing. Although this passion for storytelling was always a flickering flame throughout their policing career, it has only recently roared to life with the completion and publication of their works. This newfound courage to share stories comes from the very essence of a life spent in service to others and a personal milestone of triumph over the daunting vulnerability of creative expression. Blake's works are a unique blend of gritty reality and the rich, complex tapestry of human emotion, informed by an intimate understanding of crime's impact on people and society. Each narrative is not only an act of exploration but also a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, often exploring themes that resonate deeply with readers from all walks of life. Married for 39 years, Blake's personal life is as rich and fulfilling as their professional one. Together with their spouse, they have nurtured a family that has grown to include two children and three grandchildren, creating a strong, loving foundation that has undoubtedly influenced Blake's writing. Often, it's within the animated discussions and suggestions from these family members that seeds for stories are planted. Whether it's delving into subjects of personal intrigue or taking up the gauntlet thrown by a family member's curiosity, Blake approaches writing with the same fervour and commitment once reserved for solving cases. Readers can expect a journey through pages that not only enthral but also enlighten, crafted by someone who has not only observed life from the sidelines but has been an active participant in its most challenging arenas. Blake's books promise to be a sanctuary where the thrill of the chase, the depth of human connection, and the subtleties of life's intricate narratives converge.
