- Haveloc: The Dane
1
HAVELOC England, ca. 590 A.D.: The hulking Haveloc grows up as a foster son with fishermen in the early days of Saxon rule in England. He is humble and hard-working, and his friendly nature makes him popular with everyone – though everyone knows that you better not try to make a fool out of him. But actually there is something Haveloc doesn’t know about his true origins. And when one day a stranger takes notice of him and finally recognizes him for who he really is, old enemies know that he is still alive. And they also know that he is a threat as long as he is alive. A fight to the death begins. „Haveloc“ is set in late 6th century Denmark and England, a generation or two after the mythical King Arthur (and his people’s struggle with the Saxons). The story is based on one of the best known medieval sagas of the British Isles, which has many features of the classic Norse sagas.

- The Prince of Cornwall: Historical Novel
2
THE PRINCE OF CORNWALL England, ca. 690 A.D.: This is the story of an unusual friendship between a South Saxon from the lineage of Ella and a West Welshman – a man from Cornwall, that is, from the lineage of Arthur – in the days when the hatred between these peoples, not yet forgotten, was at its greatest. It also conveys very well the uncertainty and conflicts of life on the border, the struggle between Welsh, Saxons and Danes in a relatively obscure time of Britain’s past. Experience the adventures of two warriors in a time when England was the scene of fierce battles between Saxons, Danes and Norwegian Vikings. „The Prince of Cornwall“ takes place about a hundred years or four generations later than „Haveloc", and it deals much with the relations between Welsh and Saxons, featuring some resident Danes in the country.

- War of the Saxon Kings: Historical Novel

WAR OF THE SAXON KINGS England, ca. 790 AD: Ethelbert, King of East Anglia, has ruled his lands for over ten years. But he faces increasing threats. Offa, the king of Mercia, in particular, seems to be targeting Ethelbert and his kingdom. If Offa himself may still have scruples about taking action against the neighboring king, his wife, Quendritha, pushes his intentions with her means. And also their assistant Gymbert is at their side to prepare a heinous deed. The story mainly focuses on inter-Saxon conflict, and problems with the Welsh (who still would like to get their lost estates back). It also introduces Norse campaigns on the Frankish coast (founding the Norse state of Normandy). This is the third book in the eight-volume series „IN DARK AGES“ by Charles W. Whistler.
