I came across this by chance whilst looking for something to keep me going until the next Bernard Cornwell book. It blew me away! Obviously Cornwell-inspired, it takes you on a journey through the twelfth century and Edward the First's relentless drive to conquer all before him. Seen through the eyes of a reluctant warrior swept up in the chaos and brutality of the age, it is meticulously researched, historically accurate and jarringly realistic in its depictions of the key battles of the time. The characters are engaging and the story charges along at a fast pace and you will not want to put it down until the last page is turned. Highly recommended! I await the next installment with great anticipation!
