New book: Dark Runs the Road, by Evangeline Walton

In 1956, Evangeline Walton published her third novel, a major work on the conflict between the Vikings and Saxons in the tenth and eleventh century.  But against Walton’s wishes, the publisher cut the typescript by one-third, and retitled the book The Cross and the Sword..

Now, for the first time, Walton's full novel has been published, under her original title Dark Runs the Road.

Published by Nodens Books, it appears as a trade paperback (ISBN 979-8304520089) or a Kindle e-book.
