The third book in Robert Low’s stunning new trilogy about the making of Scotland.
The whirl of politics makes a mockery of oaths. Loyalty can be bought. Brothers end up enemies, kin can betray you and in the blink of an eye, you become the hunted.
A band of brothers has lost almost everything honouring their oath to Robert the Bruce. Wives, daughters, sisters, brothers and lovers have been slain or imprisoned. After seven long years of struggle and endurance, Bruce and his loyal supporter, Hal of Herdmanston, will come face-to-face with Edward II, the English King humiliated by defeat and determined to put down his Scottish enemy once and for all.
And the last great battle for the Scottish throne will be decided on a bloody field called Bannockburn.

Praise for THE LION RAMPANT:
‘The Lion Rampant is pure Romance, exhilarating, appalling, compelling; great stuff. It is hard to think that anyone can do violent action better than Low... vivid, imaginative and blood-curdling’ THE SCOTSMAN

‘Intensely exciting, enjoyable and satisfying: a novel of honour, duty, chivalry, desperation, self-interest and fear’ Harry Sidebottom
‘A real master of historical fiction’ Ben Kane
‘Robert Low is on my “to read” list from now on’ Anthony Riches, author of The Empire Series
Praise for the OATHSWORN series:
'A company of warriors, desperate battles, an enthralling read' Bernard Cornwell
‘Filled with the kind of muscular, fast-moving prose that gives the story real depth and distinction’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘In the Oathsworn series he has created a completely convincing and utterly compelling modern Viking Saga. The history, myth and fiction are folded seamlessly together: wonderful, unbeatable stuff’ Harry Sidebottom
Robert Low has been a journalist and writer since the age of seventeen. He covered the wars in Vietnam, Sarajevo, Romania and Kosovo until common sense and the concerns of his wife and daughter prevailed.
To satisfy his craving for action, having moved to an area rich in Viking tradition, he took up re-enactment, joining The Vikings. He now spends his summers fighting furiously in helmet and mail in shieldwalls all over Britain and winters training hard.
