An unpredictable journey with unforeseen consequences…
On Gotland Sidroc wakes from a disturbing dream; one of his sons, Hrald or Yrling – perhaps both – are in trouble. Both are in far-off Angle-land, and beyond his reach.
Eskil the Svear sails to the island, offering Sidroc a rare opportunity to gain untold riches, with equal risk to life for those joining the venture.
Edwin, Lord of Kilton, returns empty-handed from his search for a bride, while his brother Ceric knows true delight with his young wife Dwynwen, the Princess of Ceredigion. A royal commission sends the wedded pair off as envoys of King Ælfred, bringing Ceric face to face with his family’s past.
At Four Stones a troubled Jarl Hrald maintains leadership of men and lands, while questioning his resolve to move forward in his life.
Hrald’s sister Ealhswith, rejected by Edwin as a potential bride, returns to Four Stones. Yet there she finds little to assuage the restiveness and dissatisfaction she finds in her young life.
Lady Pega is called to her powerful former guardian, Lady Æthelflaed. A joyous occasion is expected, but the result is a discovery her royal guardian never anticipated.
As suddenly as game pieces topple on a board, lives are changed – forever.

Another gripping tale of our favourite characters. All told in Octaviaâs unique style. One of her best. Giving the reader hints of what is to come. I canât wait to see what comes next. Thank you Octavia.

To the Sun is the eleventh book in the Circle of Ceridwen Saga series. It is long awaited, as each of Octavia Randolphâs books are by the many fans and avid readers of the Saga series, especially me who is honoured to be a First Reader, so no spoilers.In, To the Sun, there are many twists and turns. As always, since the first book, some of the characters that enthral, surprise and by their actions change the destiny of not only themselves but have repercussions for many, continues. Characters leave, some return, new friends and foes are introduced and the Norse Gods are ever present.Immerse yourself in a book that is so well written, has a unique style and is so true to how Anglo Saxons and âVikingsâ lived and expanded their horizons during this period in history. The additional information at the end of the book, the place names of this period in history, the maps and list of characters enhances the readers experience and the vast repertoire of knowledge the author has.The Saga has moved on to getting ever nearer to the end of the 9th Century. It is still a time of uncertainty and change but equally a time to enjoy and appreciate the essentials of life. The circle of the seasons, the food, clothing, family, especially the children. As always there is a perpetual quest for the acquisition of wealth to provide for a more secure future for those loved ones as well as the constant need to maintain peace.Octavia Randolph has an amazing gift to be able to introduce fictional characters that seem so real I have come to love and cherish, some I am glad are no longer, some will be missed forever.Whoever they are they come alive in her perfect world building and word weaving. I have cried, I have laughed, my heart has been in my mouth and I have definitely been on a journey toward the sun in this latest book. Get a copy and enjoy it as much as I have.If you are not already aware, Octavia Randolph has her own brilliant website and a new Facebook group where like minded souls can discuss, learn and embrace the Saga world, and this amazing author.As always I wait with bated breath the next book in the series.

Another Awesome Chapter in the Sage!
I LOVED this book! It was a much needed and anticipated installment of the Saga series. Having read all the previous books in the series, more than once, this one connected many dots and filled in some blanks. I can assure you, if you are a fan of Ceridwen and Sidroc, as well as all the other characters, you will be very happy, and hopefully, pleasantly surprised by reading this book. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. There is still so much to be told and brought into the light in this rich and sumptuous story. Thank you, Octavia, for bringing all of your wonderful talent and fabulous characters to your loyal readers!

Wanted to love it but couldnât
I have been a huge fan of The Circle of Ceridwen saga, through book 10, and was so looking forward to book 11. Sadly, it fell short of my expectations. The wordcraft is similar to the previous books, and thatâs fantastic, but the story itself is lackluster and didnât hold my attention. Very little of it involved the characters I know and love. My only hope for the next book is that it seems to be setting up conflicts that could prove interesting.

Great historical fiction!
I have read the entire series of The Circle of ceridwen. Also Sidroc the Dane. I love them! Cannot wait until Octavia’s next book. She is a very talented author. Her attention to detail is awesome.

Old Friends and New Amazing Adventures!
“To the Sun!” What a wonderful new book! Each volume of this book series, “The Circle of Ceridwen.” is more exciting, and fulfilling than the last! Danes and Anglo-Saxons, and surprises galore! Not only do we enjoy reunions with beloved Saga characters, but Octavia Randolph launches us on yet more exciting adventures! Meet new fascinating characters facing challenges in lands far and fabulous. Will they find riches, and happiness unbounded, or will disaster envelope them? I not only loved this amazing tale, but feasted on Octavia Randolph’s fascinating, sensual details about cultures, and history. “To the Sun” is my new favorite!!

Wonderful Saga
This is Book 11 of the Circle Of Ceridwen Saga. For those who have read all 10 books, this was another gift! I could not put it down. I have followed the characters in this saga, and feel so invested in what happens to them. Ms. Randolphâs vivid descriptions of the people and surroundings brings the whole thing to life. Her research of the times is everything you wish to know in an historical fiction. You actually learn as you read. I would recommend these novels very highly. I cannot wait for Book 12.
Amazon Customer –
always a great read
Iâve enjoyed all of these books. However, the bulk of this book I found kind of boring. No spoilers. I still loved the beginning and the end when the characters that I truly loved were discussed.
Amazon Customer –
Fabulous reads
I am about to read the last book in the series, which makes me sad (Octavia, hurry up and produce book 12)!This series is phenomenalâI may have to start rereading them all.The in depth historical research, the detailed character development is beyond compare.Hope HBO considers these for their next project.

Compelling reading from the first page to the last!
Octavia Randolph once again demonstrates her mastery of the storytellerâs art. She weaves a magnificent tale, set in the time of Alfred the Great; in this book, the action alternates between England, the Baltic island of Gotland, and the lands of Eastern Europe. The richly developed scenes and characters make this story impossible to put down, just as were the 11 previous books of this series. I highly recommend this book, as well as the previous books in the Circle of Ceridwen Saga. You do not have to be a lover of historical fiction to love the books, just a lover of great stories with richly imagined settings and highly developed characters.
