About this title

Review:

Praise for Conn Iggulden and his books:

'Great fun ... the great events and breathtaking brutality of the times are brought lavishly to life.' GUARDIAN

'A brilliant story – I wish I'd written it. A novel of vivid characters, stunning action and unrelenting pace. It really is a terrific read.' BERNARD CORNWELL

'Stunning. Words like "brilliant", "sumptuous" and "enchanting" jostle to be used but scarcely convey the way Iggulden brings the tale to life ... exhilarating.' Los Angeles Times
