“Readers will be drawn in by the fast pace, constant action and tragic love story.”

—RT Book Reviews on The Saxon Outlaw’s Revenge

“Hobbes’ Medieval world sparkles with detail.”

—RT Book Reviews on The Blacksmith’s Wife

ELISABETH HOBBES grew up in York, where she spent most of her teenage years wandering around the city looking for a handsome Roman or a Viking to sweep her off her feet. Elisabeth’s hobbies include skiing, Arabic dance and fencing—none of which have made it into a story yet. When she isn’t writing she spends her time reading and is a pro at cooking while holding a book! Elisabeth lives in Cheshire with her husband, two children and three cats with ridiculous names.
