Calm Before the Danes: Guest Post by Annie Whitehead : My novel, To Be a Queen, tells the story of Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred the Great. She effectively became ruler of what was by then little more than a satellite kingdom of Wessex. https://t.co/lpyDhWUbj8

With character names like Aethelflaed, Aethelred and Aelflaed, this series one-ups Tolkien in obsolescent proper noun usage. Fortunately, the characters are incredibly well-written, and the plot moves like a bullet train with payoff after payoff. Highly recommended. 9 out of 10.
