New Giveaway: The Divine Sacrifice by Tony Hays

A few months ago PTTP hosted a giveaway for The Killing Way by Tony Hays - an Arthurian Mystery.  Now, Tony has graciously offered up an Advanced Reading Copy of the sequel to The Killing Way...The Divine Sacrifice!  Many thanks Tony!




SYNOPSIS:

The Divine Sacrifice continues the story of King Arthur’s counselor, Malgwyn ap Cuneglas, a soldier who lost his arm in battle but was saved by his king. Malgwyn hated Arthur for this gift, but he has come to grudgingly acknowledge that he yet may have some purpose in life.

Arthur and Malgwyn are called to the abbey of Glastonbury to settle a matter of great political importance—tin being mined for export to the Empire. While there, Malgwyn and Arthur meet St. Patrick, a legend in the Church who is there on a mission of his own, to root out the heresy of Pelagius.  When an aged monk is found cruelly murdered in his cell, Malgwyn is faced with a problem that will test his skills as an investigator.

His search for the truth may uncover a conspiracy that could endanger the kingdom.

Gritty and powerful with a true ring of historical perspective and a character who sees more than those around him, The Divine Sacrifice is a historical mystery that will hook mystery readers and historical fans alike.




Giveaway Details:

    I love historicals and am always looking for a good mystery. The Arthurian legend has seen many books done about it and has been approached from many angles. I will have to find a copy of The Killing Way and start this series properly. Will have to see if our library can start carrying this series. We have a lot of mystery lovers who are always looking for new authors.
    Best of luck with the release of THE DIVINE SACRIFICE.
