HUNDREDS OF GODS.21st Century London.The Norman conquest never happened.The ancient tribes of Britain remain undefeated.But murders still have to be solved.The small, mostly unimportant, island of Britain is inhabited by an uneasy alliance of tribes – the dominant Saxon East, the beleaguered Celtic West, and an independent Nordic Scotland – and tensions are increasing by the second. Supermarket warpaint sales are at an all- time high, mead abuse shortens the lives of thousands, and social media is abuzz with conspiracy theories suggesting the High Table’s putting GPS trackers in the honeycakes.Amid this febrile atmosphere, the capital is set to play host to the Unification Summit, which aims to join together the various tribes into one ‘united kingdom’. But when a Celtic diplomat is found brutally murdered, his body nailed to an ancient oak, the fragile peace is threatened. Captain Aedith Mercia, daughter of a powerful Saxon leader, must join forces with Celtic Tribal Detective Inspector Drustan to solve the M**der – and stop political unrest spilling onto the streets.But is this an isolated incident? Or are Aedith and Drustan facing a serial killer with a decades-old grudge? To find out, they must delve into their own murky pasts and tackle forces that go deeper than they ever could have imagined.Set in a world that’s far from our own and yet captivatingly familiar, Pagans is “The Bridge” meets “Vikings”, exploring contemporary themes of religious conflict, nationalism, prejudice... and the delicate internal politics of the office coffee round. Gripping and darkly funny, Pagans keeps you guessing until the very end.Accessibility notes:Our shop has step free access from the street.We have two customer bathrooms (baby changing facilities are on the ground floor).A customer lift is available and the customer cafe (located on the first floor) closes at 5pm.Waterstones staff will be on hand throughout the event to support with queries and queue management throughout.Unfortunately, there is no access for cars down Coney Street until 6.30pm this includes Taxis.Please telephone or email the shop if you require assistance on the day.Telephone number 01904 620 784Email: events.york@waterstones.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/york/an-evening-with-james-alistair-henry-waterstones-york/100001980458997173 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 4, max: 14, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: York - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 53.9592156 - **long**: -1.0841896 - **full address**: Waterstones, 15 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with James Alistair Henry - Waterstones York - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/304a2076f6639d801e690b13d700d9453507ce29c484d90935d38a6db47ad5d9-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1768352993 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with James Alistair Henry - Waterstones York being held? - **A:** An Evening with James Alistair Henry - Waterstones York takes place on Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Waterstones, 15 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for An Evening with James Alistair Henry - Waterstones York? - **A:** Ticket prices for An Evening with James Alistair Henry - Waterstones York range from GBP 4 to GBP 14 depending on the ticket type.
