666 Charing Cross Road by Paul Magrs - sort of urban fantasy, and possible first of a series.

Just ordered To Defy a King by Elizabeth Chadwick.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Yep you're right but I don't think that one was included in the special offer that the others were. It doesn't seem as popular for some reason.
