Description
Run, run, girl. In the name of God, run.
It's 1141 and freezing. Gwil, a battle-hardened mercenary watches in horror as a little girl with red hair is dragged away by his own men. Caught in the middle of the fight for England she is just one more victim in a winter of atrocities.
But a strange twist of fate brings them together again. Gwil finds the girl close to death, clutching a sliver of parchment. And now he is certain of what he must do. He will bring her back to life. He will train her to fight. And together they will hunt down the man who did this to her . . .
But danger looms wherever they turn. As castle after castle falls victim to siege, the icy Fens ring with rumours of a madman, of murder - and of a small piece of parchment the cost of which none of them could have imagined . . .

Marketing Plan
Ariana Franklin was born in Devon and,
like her father, became a journalist. Having invaded Wales dressed in
combat uniform with the Royal Marines for one of their military
exercises, accompanied the Queen on a royal visit, missed her own
twenty-first birthday party because she had to cover a murder, she
married, almost inevitably, another journalist. She then abandoned her
career in national newspapers and settled down in the country to bring
up two daughters, study medieval history and write.
Ariana was the
author of the acclaimed, award-winning Mistress of the Art of Death
series. She passed away in 2011, before she was able to deliver the
manuscript for Winter Siege. Her daughter, Samantha, decided to complete the novel on her mother’s behalf.
Samantha Norman
is a journalist and broadcaster who is mad about horses. She lives in
west London with her two sons Harry and Charlie, and their dogs Becks
and Spider.
