A New Historical Fiction Book
Hi friends! Just popping on the blog today to tell you all about a new historical fiction book by an author friend of mine, Among the Outcast by Amy Ullrich.
It’s set in the ninth century during the reign of Alfred the Great, and if you enjoy historical fiction books such as those by Douglas Bond, Lois Walfrid Johnson, and G. A. Henty, you just might enjoy this book! Or, if you liked my A Torch in the Empire Series, I think you'll like Amy Ullrich's books, too!
Here's the back cover blurb:
As thunder crashes overhead, condemnation throbbing in its ominous tones, Edwin flees from the kingdom he has betrayed. With every passing mile, his hopes of ever earning King Alfred’s forgiveness grow fainter. But while he wrestles with guilt and seeks for refuge among any who will shelter him, he has no idea of the great danger closing in on his family. Unless he can face the truth about himself and find the courage to return, all may be lost.
Journey back in time with this fast-paced, soul-stirring adventure that immerses you once again in the fascinating and complex world of Alfred the Great.
Here’s my review of it:
This is an excellent historical fiction book! With great character development, a strong brother-sister bond, delightful twists and turns, and a beautiful message of redemption, this book is definitely on my favorites list. I can tell the author did a lot of research and is very passionate about the time period and themes.
Amy Ullrich did an excellent job of writing a gripping adventure story with deep themes in a family-friendly way. I was glad to find another historical fiction book that isn’t focused on romance and is well-written with a strong Christian message naturally woven into the story.

Always remember, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it,” (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
All for Him,
