The Angel and the Sword by Cecelia Holland
Guided and guarded by an angel, a young Spanish knight saves Paris from the Vikings during one of the darkest eras of Christendom-and turns out to be a girl.Cecelia Holland knows history. More impressive is the way she understands human motivations. A wonderful writerDavid DrakeCecilia Holland's grasp of both character and action is superb, and her ability to make the people of the past both fully human and intensely of their-deeply alien-settings is matchless.S.M. Stirling
Cecelia Holland has been writing since she was 12, and spends a good deal of every day writing. She chose to write historical fiction, because, being 12, she had precious few stories of her own, and history seemed to her then, as it still does, an endless fund of material.
She was encouraged to write by the poet William Meredith and the short story writer David Jackson. Her first novel was The Firedrake, and it was published by Atheneum in 1966. Since then, Cecelia has written a lot, read a lot, and raised three daughters. She lived in northern California, in the country. Once a week, she teaches creative writing at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, and, every day, she takes care of a small menagerie of little animals.
