I will start by saying I have not used weed killer in a few years because it is very bad for bees, bugs, and humans. I am not going to lie. I miss it. That stuff would kill every single weed in my driveway like a champ. Spray once and death spread across the cracks like a dark wave of terror, but in a good way. Once I learned about how it was affecting the environment and the bees though, I had to stop. Now my driveway looks like an ugly short jungle. Blegh! Except, if you have an ugly short jungle, people think you are a good person because you are caring for our planet. I overheard one conversation at Target where one person was talking about a neighbor and how there are absolutely no weeds in his driveway, so he must be using the evil weed killer. They were both shaking their heads and making sounds of disapproval. Yikes! So what I have to do is clean the weeds out of my driveway manually and make sure everyone sees me pulling them by hand, but for those who didn’t see me doing it I have to leave a few so people know I love bees and baby seals. It’s all about balance, bees, and baby seals.
Shadow of the Raven (Sons of Kings Book 1)
by Millie Thom
(62 Reviews)
Genre: Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
‘Historical fiction at its best.’
By the mid ninth century, Danish raids on Anglo-Saxon kingdoms have escalated. Several bands even dare to overwinter on the coastal islands, particularly those at the mouth of the Thames, where the kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia border each other.
The kings of these lands must put past enmity- aside and take the first steps towards unity; steps they see as vital in the face of this newfound threat to their lands…
Alfred of Wessex and Eadwulf of Mercia are the sons of kings, whose futures have been determined since birth. But the turbulent events in their childhood years change the natural progression of things – and shape the characters of the men they will become.
Their roads to manhood follow vastly different routes, but both learn crucial lessons along the way: lessons that will serve them well in future years.
Discovering that the enemy is not always a stranger is a harsh lesson indeed; the realisation that a trusted kinsman can turn traitor is the harshest lesson of all.
The story takes us from the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex to the Norse lands stretching north from Denmark to the Arctic Circle and east to the Baltic Sea. We glimpse the Court of Charles the Bald of West Francia and journey to the holy city of Rome.
And through it all, the two boys move ever closer to their destinies.
