The Book:
Warrior Princess, Errant Page is a fantastic YA historical novel and is
set in the days when Good King Wenceslas ruled Bohemia. The story of Emma, the warrior princess, and Podevin, the errant page, is told against a background of tenth-century court intrigue, personality clashes, and warfare.

Can a 22-year-old page and bodyguard avenge the death of his assassinated king, while being hunted as an outlaw?

Can an Anglo-Saxon princess, stuck hundreds of miles from home in a foreign court, follow her heart when her husband does not want her?

Will Emma and Podevin be able to find a secure future in such a deadly, dangerous world?

The Author:
Nigel was originally a Shropshire lad, being born and raised in Shrewsbury. Having gained a BSc from Loughborough University and a PGCE from Bath, his teaching career took him from the south-west of England to Teesside via Botswana, Africa. Following his PhD in Durham, he published his non-fiction book ‘Engaging Politics?’ in 2007 (as Nigel W. Oakley) and served as World Development Officer for the Diocese of Durham for five years.

Since moving back to the Midlands, he has concentrated on writing fiction. ‘Warrior Princess, Errant Page’, the first novel in the Premyslid Chronicles, will be published with Resolute Books in the Spring of 2025. Warrior Princess, Errant Page is about Good King Wenceslas’s page and sprung from a conversation with his son after the school Christmas Concert; having sung about God King Wenceslas, he wanted to know “who the page was” in that carol. Nigel’s research led him to a name: Podevin, and a story about an assassination, a connection with the warrior grand-daughter of King Alfred the Great, and a life in exile …

To ensure he keeps his creative muscles in trim, Nigel also produces a short story every month and regularly puts them on his website, where readers can also hear him read those stories.

Format: Paperback

Bids Accepted: UK Only

The Book;
Nobody talks about the strange happenings in Maimsbury. No one speaks of the hooded figures glimpsed in the woods, nor the children's game that went so horribly wrong. But most of all, nobody dares whisper their doubts about the river they have worshipped for centuries.

Like everyone in Maimsbury, Gorse is used to the sacrifices made every spring to the River Yeelde. The life of a farm animal - in return for a year of plenty - seems a fair trade. That is, until a tragedy leads Gorse to a blood-curdling discovery.

Because this year is a Brim Year, and after giving so much, the river needs more than an animal's life to sate its thirst...

A wild misfit in the human world, Nettle is enthralled by the glamour of the faery realm, with its two moons and scarlet stars. She grows close to Conor, a human stolen centuries before, and she also falls under the spell of mysterious Ellion, a Shadow Faery. To try to help her beloved grandmother who is fading in her world, Nettle makes a pact with the faery king. He'll heal her grandmother in exchange for Nettle completing three tasks.

But the Owl King has grown restless, and his kingdom has become dangerous as he feeds off the magic of others. Always he hunts for a new bride to sustain him.

When devoted sisters, Ilsette and Lyla, are summoned to court, the Owl King's eye soon falls on the beautiful Lyla. Determined to save her sister from a terrible fate, Ilsette sets out on a quest to find the prized feather and change the balance of power.

Here she must trick King Locryn into revealing the feather's secret whereabouts, so that she can steal it. She's befriended by a strange magpie and two shadow faeries, but all the while, she faces an impossible truth – to save her sister, she must destroy peace among the realms.
