Martin and Giles Kristian * Theodore Brun *A compelling narrative… thoroughly enjoyable * Historical Novel Society *Packed with brutal battles, political intrigue, and richly developed characters… the book is grounded in reality making it a gripping read for fans of both history and legend * The Gamer *
