But what on earth was going on with the hotel?

#OnThisDay in 1066 was the Battle of Hastings.
For Siward of Gloucester, his kith and kin, life was about to change forever...

Rising from the Ruins mybook.to/Risingfromth...
#Epic #HistoricalFiction #OTD #NormanConquest #BattleofHastings 📚⚔️

A smoky orange background shows a nightmarish battle scene with the silhouettes of warriors, some on horseback, wielding swords, bows, and axes. The text reads An epic voyage begins. After the defeat at Hastings, the failure of rebellions and the devastation of the North, England desperately needs a new hero. Will Siward of Gloucester be that man? Beside the text is historical fiction novel Rising from the Ruins. The cover features the nightmare battle scene with a long-haired man in a mail shirt and a blonde woman in a brown dress and hood. https://mybook.to/RisingfromtheRuins

Beautifully written #historical #suspense by @bjornlarssen.com
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📗

Bjørn Larssen (he/him) @bjornlarssen.com · May 25

🇮🇸 #Iceland, 1920. Side effects of too much truth include death… in this historical suspense novel set under the Northern lights.

🥇 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal – Best Historical Fiction.

📕 e-book (all stores) • paperback • hardcover • audiobook

➡️ www.bjornlarssen.com/storytellers

Right side: the cover of ‘Storytellers’ by Bjørn Larssen.

Left side – review quotes:
★★★★★ This story feels like how I would believe Iceland feels to an outsider looking in, rough, dark, and beautiful.
★★★★★ Bjørn Larssen’s “Storytellers”, firmly cements his place as a masterful storyteller in a 20th century saga set in rural and rugged Iceland.
★★★★★ If you don't believe that the blacksmith, a depressive alcoholic, could steal your heart, give this book a try.
★★★★★ This unique tale is storytelling at its best.
★★★★★ Storytellers is an incredible read. I'd love to go to Iceland one day - seeing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list. Even if I never do, though, I feel like I've kind of been there with this book. A suspenseful, hilarious, poignant, extraordinary book.
★★★★★ Hauntingly atmospheric, it somehow shows us all the dark bleakness of the place while inspiring us with wanderlust to see it. The author's love of Iceland shines through.
★★★★★ This exquisite tale comes together brilliantly at the end … in quite a satisfying and impressive way. The reader can feel the heart and soul that went into writing it.
★★★★★ There is something magical and enchanting about Storytellers that makes it an unputdownable book.

Highbinder 1. One who engages in fraudulent and shady activities; a corrupt or scheming politician.
“Back in my day politicians would at least have the decency to at least attempt to conceal the fact that they were nothing more than vainglorious highbinder and quockerwodgers.”

Phlegmatic 1. Not easily excited to action or display of emotion: apathetic. 2 Having or showing a slow and stolid temperament.
“Spock’s phlegmatic demeanour was necessary to balance out the outlandish persona of the perpetually xenolibinous Captain Kirk.”
