The Bastard Executioner

In this blood-drenched medieval saga, we follow the tale of Wilkin Brattle, a warrior from the 14th century whose fate is dramatically altered when a celestial envoy urges him to abandon his weapon and assume the identity of a traveling executioner. Set against the backdrop of northern Wales, a region teeming with rebellion and political turmoil, Wilkin must carefully balance the protection of his true self while fulfilling a mysterious destiny.

He is guided by Annora, a mystical healer whose apparent all-knowing nature keeps him under her influence; manipulated by Milus Corbett, a cunning Chamberlain with lofty political ambitions; and motivated by a growing bond with the Baroness Lady Love. Wilkin faces a complex web of political, emotional, and supernatural challenges as he seeks to comprehend his ultimate purpose.
