The Bard of Castaguard (Runes of War: The Book of Önd, Book 5)

About Jane WelchJohn Hunt

Jane Welch was born in Foremarke a hamlet in the very centre of rural England exactly where more than a thousand years ago the Viking Great Army camped for the winter. Their forces were led by three of Ragnar Lothbroks sons including Ivar the Boneless. Jane spent her childhood either at Foremarke or in the remote coastal wilderness of the Scottish Highlands. In her younger days she spent five years in the Pyrenees teaching skiing with her husband surrounded by the magic of those ancient mountains. Sine then Jane has written nine fantasy novels which form the Runespell series. The novels carry the echo of these wild places so dear to her heart. Presently Jane is excited to be working on a new series originally inspired by a climb to a Mediterranean lighthouse and looking down at an ancient harbour below. Jane lives in beautiful Devon on the south west coast of England with her family and their noble dog Odin.
