Critics Review
A brilliant read. As he did with his Raven novels, Kristian weaves a colourful, authentic world in which to set his tale…and he has done it with confidence and real flair. Full of tragedy and triumph, honour and treachery, The Bleeding Land is a thrilling tour-de-force – BEN KANE
Expertly plotted, full of passion and bloody drama…a book that will appeal to passionate, compassionate readers, men and women alike, fans of C J Sansom as much as fans of Conn Iggulden. Read it: you’ll love every page – MANDA SCOTT
With powerful protagonists, a gripping story and rollicking action, I can strongly recommend this tour-de-force. Outstanding – ANTHONY RICHES
Giles Kristian has made an effortless transition from Viking warriors to the often tricky emotional landscape of the English Civil War. Visceral, brutal and genuinely moving, this is historical fiction at its thrilling best – SAUL DAVID
Giles Kristian
Family history and his storytelling hero, Bernard Cornwell, inspired Giles Kristian to write his first novels, the acclaimed Raven Viking series. He’s long been fascinated by the English Civil War - from absorbing the vibrant illustrations in school text books to appreciating the cold efficiency of Cromwell’s New Model Army, admiring the flair of the Cavaliers and revelling in the romance of the doomed Royalist cause and it is this complex and brutal conflict that provides the backcloth to his new historical series, The Bleeding Land. Giles lives in Leicestershire.
