Pink Hydra Press is pleased and proud to announce the completion of our very first print project, The Broken Knight.

Set in a fantastical version of Anglo-Saxon England, this novel combines the tragedy and heroism of Germanic mythology with the otherworldly romance of lovers such as the Arthurian Tristan & Isolde, or the fairytale Undine and her knight.

After a battle-hardened Anglo-Saxon nobleman, Will, awakes on a smoking battlefield with no idea how he got there nor even his own name, a mystery involving his violent past and the secretive realm of faeries begins to unfold. Who is Goldie, this pagan girl he saved from an angry mob intent on burning her alive, and what is the dark shadow that stalks his nightmares?

A standalone fantasy novel of 69,000 words, The Broken Knight is the perfect read for a lazy afternoon, or a cosy weekend evening. Now available as a Kindle ebook or paperback.
