“Hill beautifully portrays the landscape, seascape, nature, culture and customs of the time. The description of the tribal divisions, factions and bids for conquest is detailed and knowledgeable. There is an interesting contrast between life on Scottish Mull and Iona, with the more sophisticated Canterbury and Saxon court. Throughout is the difficult matter of faith: pagan belief and the arrival of Christianity leads to difficult or political decisions.”

“The Saxon Sword is a meticulously researched novel, set in the so-called Dark Ages, which is unusual in that the narrative is written from a female perspective. I found it to be beautifully written and completely gripping. There is an emotional honesty to the book and a gripping integrity. I’m looking forward to the next two instalments with great anticipation.“
