Hengist is a short historical novel that tells the origin story of Britain’s first Anglo-Saxon king. A boy is forced into exile by his jealous brother and eventually rises to become one of the most feared warlords of his age.
Published in 2023, the novella offers the Anglo-Saxon perspective on the struggle for Britain, the opposite side of the conflict Sean Poage covers in his Arthurian Age series. It draws on Tolkien’s scholarship connecting references scattered across Beowulf, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, The History of the Britons, and The Finnsburg Fragment.
