Honor

The award-winning historical fiction novel by Francis Williams.

What others are saying.

"I am reminded of "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett in terms of the attention paid to detail and the storytelling style seamlessly blending into the backdrop of history. The details engaged my brain, and each chapter ended with the excitement of wishing there were more. With twists and turns, characters are rounded out." - Lo Potter of Lo Potter Writes.

"The author clearly did his homework, great story and character arcs." Shari Damewood of Damewood Editorial. "Francis Williams' Honor paints a very real picture of a period in history steeped in bloody violence and injustice. You can't help feeling torn by what the characters endure, from the highs of being reunited with friends and family through to the utter devastation of losing a loved one to war. The principal players in the story are all real and relatable, and the relationships between them are crafted in a manner that evokes genuine empathy for their wellbeing. This is an epic book covering a significant number of minor and major conflicts, which makes it ideal for those not faint of heart. The end will certainly leave you breathless." - Steven Robson, Reader's Favorite: Book Reviews and Award Contest

The Romans have abandoned Britannia. It is now 425 CE, and the islands have been brutally invaded by barbarian tribes coming from all directions.

These lands are now a series of lawless, squabbling kingdoms which haven't been united since the death of High King Coel Hen roughly a decade before. Roman rule failed the Britons, and a former Roman auxiliary, Hall, has been asked to return and provide a safer future for the people of Britannia's northmost kingdom, Ebrauc.

Word has it that a Saxon warlord has united many tribesmen from Germania and Gaul as he prepares for his assault on the island's northern territories. Simultaneously, the Pictish tribes from North of Hadrian's Wall are now supported by an unknown Gaelic king from across the seas in the West.

Many enemies, both known and unknown, will surface to prevent Hall and his son, Drysten, from giving Britannia's people the security they have longed for. The first book of a series follows the many trials by both Hall and Drysten as they both set up Britannia for one of its greatest leaders in history.
