'Donovan Cook’s Charlemagne’s Cross series has everything I look for in a tale of the Dark Ages. Adventure and gritty action set against the backdrop of clashing religions and the collision of kingdoms. Great stuff!' - Matthew Harffy

'Donovan Cook has quickly turned into a storyteller worthy of the greatest Viking Skalds! The Charlemagne series is a joy of superb character development, secrecy and deception, and of course thrilling Viking battles. Highly recommended for any fan of the shield wall.'  - Peter Gibbons

'A fabulous Norse tale of family secrets, betrayal and conflict right up until the very last page - I loved it!' - MJ Porter for Odin's Betrayal

'A gripping story of heroism and intrigue in a Dark Age world that is passing away. Perfect for fans of historical fiction.' - Theodore Brun for Loki's Deceit

About
My Story

Donovan Cook is the author of the well-received Ormstunga Saga series, known for its fast-paced storytelling and meticulously researched depiction of the Viking world. Drawing inspiration from Norse mythology and a deep passion for medieval history, Donovan’s writing blends historical accuracy with gripping adventure.

Following the success of the Ormstunga Saga series, he wrote The Charlemagne’s Cross series, published by Boldwood Books, further cementing his reputation as a rising voice in historical fiction. His latest work, The First Kingdom series, explores the rich tapestry of 5th century Britain and the Anglo-Saxon invasion, with Woden’s Storm, book two of the series, set to release soon.

Born in South Africa and raised in England, Donovan developed a fascination with the Norse and Viking age at an early age. When he's not writing, he enjoys spending time with his family, watching rugby (he supports the Emirates Lions and the Springboks), and walking his French Bulldog through the English countryside.
