Lord of the North

By: Timothy LaPlant

Set in the time of the Norman conquest of Great Britain, Lord of the North is a story of self-determination and redemption. It follows Wilfred, an orphan bastard saved from the gallows by William, Duke of Normandy in 1054.

Years at William's side, transforms Wilfred into a professional soldier who is fiercely loyal to William's cause and bonded in friendship to his lord. He is tasked with securing and protecting the Northern District of Great Britain. While in New Castle, he meets and falls in love Lady Anne McCallester, finding family and happiness just as he must battle a formidable invading enemy. This is a story of the transformation of a man who rises from murderous mercenary to loving father and friend fighting to protect his home and lands.

A reclusive individual who spends most of his time with his two black labs hunting and fishing. LaPlant is a former business owner, mechanical contractor, who specialized in the construction of children's hospitals.

If others can find this story of self determination relevant or uplifting, then he is rewarded.
