Critics Review
Praise for the Insurrection trilogy - …
Immaculately researched and carefully written, evoking a very particular - and largely unexplored - time and place. The fights are sensational. - Daily TelegraphThe learning is never cumbersome, a deft trick when describing medieval warfare. - ScotsmanThis is a big book, and the trilogy a huge project to undertake. From the evidence so far, Young’s fans will not be disappointed … she brings to life one of [history’s] most enigmatic characters. - Daily MailA cracking plot and charismatic characters are set against the convincingly researched background of the violent, gory Anglo-Scottish civil wars. - SagaAbout The Author
Robyn Young
Robyn Young was born in Oxford and grew up in the Midlands and Devon. She has a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex and lives and writes in Brighton full-time. Her first novel, BRETHREN, was the bestselling hardback debut novel of 2006, with the paperback also going straight into the top ten bestseller list. Two more bestsellers followed, CRUSADE and REQUIEM, completing the Brethren trilogy, which has now sold over a million copies and been translated into nineteen languages.
The inspiration for Robyn’s new trilogy, which began with INSURRECTION and continues in RENEGADE, grew out of an earlier research trip to Scotland. Robyn explains: ‘Day by day, out of the pages of history and the wild landscape, one figure came striding, larger, clearer than all the others - Robert the Bruce. He swept me off my feet and carried me into a story of bitter family feuds, two civil wars and the struggle for the crown. I realised there was no way this character could play a cameo role in another man’s story. His tale was too powerful, too intricate and too good to be cut down and boxed to fit.’
