  • "In THE FIREDRAKE, an Irish mercenary knight in the eleventh century, in a constant personal battle with the rest of the world, joins William of Normandy for the invasion of England. There at Hastings he has to choose between power and wealth, and his personal demons of pride and honor. The NY Times called Cecelia Holland "a literary phenomenon" in their review of this book, recognizing a stellar creative achievement by a young writer in her first published work. Cecelia Holland has published non-fiction historical/biographic works, children's novels, a contemporary novel and a science fiction novel as well as a number of historical essays but she is best known for more than two dozen historical novels set in time periods ranging from from the middle of the first millennium CE up through parts of the early 20th century and from Egypt, through Russia, central Europe, Scandinavia, Great Britain and Ireland to the West Coast of the U.S. The hallmark of her style is a vivid recreation of time, place and character, all true to known facts. She is highly regarded for her attention to detail, her insight into the characters she has researched and portrayed and for battle scenes that are vividly rendered and powerfully described."@en
