WILD FIELD: a tale to carry you beyond the Bayeux Tapestry. Gytha was thirteen when her father King Harold of England died at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD. Her adored mother Edith ’Swan-Neck’, crazed with grief was lost to her. She and her brothers went on the run from William the Conqueror. Gytha first flees west to Exeter, where she is to marry a painted Celt Prince. He is killed and she escapes to Denmark. But with no dowry, no parents and no country to call home she is bartered to a wicked bride-trader and trafficked to the farthest edge of Christendom to wed Volodymyr, a Prince of Rus (now Ukraine), only to find he is promised to another girl. WILD FIELD enlists the power of truth, with lyrical story-telling and thrilling adventure. Share Gytha’s love, loss, separation and ultimately joyous deliverance. You will love her companions Wulfwyn, Pig Boy, and the scented Swetesot. Fear and admire the handsome ’Lone Warrior’ Prince Volodymyr, hate Oleg and the Cold Trader and all those with dark hearts who seek to harm Gytha in the WILD FIELD 'This the man does not know,The warrior lucky in worldly things,What some endureWho tread most widelythe paths of exile.'(The Seafarer. 10th century poem)
