Crossroads

A collection of three historical novels by John Broughton, now available in one volume!

Expulsion: Ireland, 902 AD. After Jarl Òttar saves the life of the Norse fighter, Ragnall ua Imair, the Viking diaspora takes them far from Dublin. Òttar and Ragnall navigate through the dangerous 10th century life, from Europe all the way to the Far East, but their real ambition still lies in the north, in the family thrones of Jorvik and Dublin.

The Aspromonte Riddle: After watercolourist Edward Lear and his pupil, Lord John Proby, head on an adventure into the Aspromonte Mountains, they start exploring paths untrodden by other Englishmen. Through many twists and turns, they learn more about themselves - and the world - than they could have ever expected.

The Rebel Scribes: Christ Church Priory, Canterbury, 990 AD. Orphaned Folcwin and his elder brother, Aelfwynn, have become excellent scribes, but their lives are upset by a competition to illuminate a commissioned psalter. Even with their imbalanced fortunes, the paths of the two brothers are bound to cross with powerful kings and strong leaders, including King Aethelred, Thorkell the Tall and Edmund Ironside.
