Serlo, a young Norman knight in the service of Lord Robert de Catheux, counts it a miracle to have survived the bloody slaughter at Hastings. As the army waits for the English surrender, Serlo is tasked to apprehend or destroy a renegade Englishman nicknamed the Iron Wolf. An enemy who is marshalling a great force that could threaten Duke William's battered troops. Serlo rides with his conroi of knights into the Blind, the unknown lands of this foreign country, and discovers a greater threat in the form of a powerful witch of the old gods, who has cast a spell during the final moments of the battle. Soon, there are enemies all around Serlo; grim English warriors wanting revenge, men on his own side vying for power, reputation and glory, and the terrifying forms of warriors who resemble the slain from Hastings. In a land riven by conflict, Serlo must fight his fears and be the knight and the true weapon he is meant to be, because the fate of England and all humanity hangs in the balance . . . NIGHT WORLD introduces us to a new and compelling hero - courageous, loyal, ferocious - in a historical novel with elements of horror and fantasy by an author who brings the history and fighting of the time vividly alive. An absolute must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and George R.R. Martin.
