Beasts of War : A Retelling of the Old English Judith (Great Summer Reading)

[turbocoolerParticipant 4203xp 0]

I stumbled upon this book during a seaside trip I took last weekend at a little bookstore near the beach.  However, you can find this book at all the usual suspects.  I thought it was entertaining enough to read and because the former name of this site is the title of the book, others may find it interesting too.  It is a fantasy setting based on an Old English Poem.  Many from the UK on here may already know the story.  This was new to me and was a good read while taking some time off from work.

Synopsis from the publisher

Few people in life are lucky enough to fulfill their destiny. And even fewer have the privilege of recognizing it as it happens.  An evil warlord is wreaking havoc across England. His trail of destruction razes the land and decimates people left and right. He must be stopped. At all costs.  When young Judith is recruited to vanquish him, she uses her beauty and her charm to get close.  But once he’s within her reach, all is not as it seems.  His magnetism and alluring promises weaken her. And she begins to question whether she’s on the right side of this war.  If she is to escape his pull and save her people from his sinister plans, she’ll need true love and unfaltering friendship to do it.  And a little touch of fate wouldn’t hurt either. . .
