The Serpent Sword (Bernicia Chronicles book 1)
“Screams of the dying mingled with the clash of weapons, creating a hellish cacophony.
The foetid bowel-stench of the slain hung over the battlefield, the miasma of defeat.
The calm that had made him formidable moments before had vanished as quickly as it had come.
Beobrand faced the grey-haired warrior. His legs were heavy. His stomach in turmoil. The warrior strode down the slope towards him. Beobrand struggled to lift his shield and seax in a menacing manner.
The grim warrior ...swung his sword, effortlessly swatting the seax from Beobrand’s hand. Beobrand stepped backwards, vainly attempting to raise his shield. All strength had fled from his limbs. His right hand throbbed from the sword blow. The shield in his left was too heavy, as if being dragged down by unseen forces.
He knew then, looking into the dire, grey eyes of the warrior, that he was going to die. From deep within himself, a spark was rekindled.MoreLess
