Charles Cordell is the author of English Civil War historical fiction series Divided Kingdom. His writing has received praise and editorial reviews from The Times.

Divided Kingdom book 2 – The Keys of Hell and Death - follows the Western campaign of 1643. The story opens with the brutal Battle of Lansdown Hill.
