Publisher Description
The third novel in the compelling Conquest series (1066: The Bloody Aftermath) from the author of Sworn Sword. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwall, Simon Scarrow and Ben Kane.
AUTUMN, 1071. The struggle for England has been long and brutal. Five years after the fateful Battle of Hastings, only a desperate band of rebels in the Fens stands between King William and absolute conquest.
Tancred, a proud and ambitious knight, is among the Normans marching to destroy them. Once lauded for his exploits, his fame is now dwindling. He yearns for the chance to restore his reputation through spilling enemy blood.
But as the Normans’ attempts to assault the rebels’ island stronghold are thwarted, the King grows ever more frustrated. With the campaign stalling and morale in camp failing, he looks to Tancred to deliver the victory that will crush the rebellions once and for all.
Customer Reviews
Wow!
The book is an amazing story and it drags you in, physically and emotionally. Once I began to read, it was very difficult to put the book down. Very much looking forward to hearing more of tancreds adventures.
Knights of the Hawk
What can I say that I have not already said for the first two novels in this series. Excellent story, well told, fast paced action with a likeable, all to human hero. James Aitcheson's writing is on a per with Bernard Cornwell. No mean feat.
