Sneak Peeks & Giveaway: Win a copy of Anarchy by Stewart Binns

I recently received a copy of Anarchy by Stewart Binns to review but as I've currently got a backlog, and this style of historical adventure fiction is not one I would normally read, I have decided to offer this as a giveaway prize instead.

Ruthless brutality, greed and ambition: the Anarchy

The year is 1186, the thirty-second year of the reign of Henry II.

Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, has lived through long Henry's reign and that of his grandfather, Henry I. He has witnessed the terrifying civil war between Henry II's mother, the Empress Matilda, and her cousin, Stephen; a time so traumatic it becomes known as the Anarchy.

The greatest letter writer of the 12th Century, Folio gives an intimate account of one of England's most troubled eras. Central to his account is the life of a knight he first met over fifty years earlier, Harold of Hereford.

Harold's life is an intriguing microcosm of the times. Born of noble blood and legendary lineage, he is one of the nine founders of the Knights Templar and a survivor of the fearsome battles of the Crusader States in the Holy Land.

Harold is loyal warrior in the cause of the Empress Matilda. On his broad shoulders, Harold carries the legacy of England's past and its dormant hopes for the future.

Entries will close at midnight on 22nd June when the winner will be selected via Rafflecopter and contacted for postal details.  Sorry I'm going to have to restrict this to UK entrants only as got quite a few giveaway parcels to post in the next few weeks.
