Blood Divide

Set during the pivotal Battle of Flodden in September 1513, the narrative explores the clash between the Scots and a depleted English army. Key figures include the seasoned Sir Thomas Howard, the impetuous Alexander, 3rd Lord Hume, and the determined Abbess Isabella Hoppringle, who navigates the chaos with the influence of women in the Scottish borders. The story also features John Heron, the disreputable Bastard of Ford, seeking profit amidst the carnage. John Sadler immerses readers in the visceral experience of battle and its lasting impact on Scottish history.
