The Loom of Battle (the Second Book of The Saxon Tapestry)

The web of Wyrd is almost complete. Harold is King and beloved by his people, as the runes cast by Hogni Tricksleeves once foretold. But the betrayal of Tostig and the hunger of William, Duke of Normandy, bring England to its knees.

When Hereward in his Irish exile learns of the ravage of his home, he reluctantly returns. Taking up his father's enchanted armour and aided by Muirgheal's witchcraft, he begins to stalk the Norman foe...

Full of battle-poetry and magic, Sile Rice's The Loom of Battle forms the tragic conclusion to The Saxon Tapestry.
