The Bleeding Land duology is Giles Kristian’s departure from Viking fiction into the English Civil War. The two novels follow the Rivers family as the conflict between King Charles I and Parliament splits the nation and their household.

The Bleeding Land (2012) sets up the family’s divisions as brothers choose opposing sides, and Brothers’ Fury (2013) carries them through the war’s escalation. Kristian brings the same visceral battle writing from his Viking novels to the seventeenth century, with detailed portrayals of cavalry charges, siege warfare, and the personal cost of civil conflict.
