immaculately researched and carefully written, evoking a very particular - and largely unexplored - time and place. The fights are sensational (Daily Telegraph)
The fast and furious start to a majestic new trilogy (Women and Home)
'leads you in swiftly and doesn't let you go' (Australian Women's Weekly)
'this tale captures the struggles of a tumultuous time' (Australian Daily Telegraph)
another fine novel by Young and a promising start to an exciting new series (Canberra Times)
This is a big book, and the trilogy a huge project to undertake. From the evidence so far, Young's fans will not be disappointed as she meticulously ploughs through the sweep of history and brings to life one of its most enigmatic characters (Daily Mail)
'Ideal for anyone who loves historical fiction and anyone else who wants a well written and intricate read' (Sentinel (Staffordshire))
'A cracking plot and charismatic characters are set against the convincingly researched background of the violent, gory Anglo-Scottish civil wars' (Saga)
Given the events are fixed in historical fiction, the trick is to find supplementary reasons for actions, and Young's conceit - that Edward I is trying to capture four relics (one of which is the Stone of Destiny) - gives a great ulterior motivation. The learning is never cumbersome, a deft trick when describing medieval warfare in all its clunking barbarism. (Scotsman)
Young writes with remarkable accuracy, action-packed efficiency and gut-wrenching violence (The Times on REQUIEM)
The king of Scotland is dead. Civil war threatens as powerful Scottish families fight over the throne, unaware that King Edward of England has plans of his own. For years, Edward has nurtured a fierce vision of conquest, inspired by the words of an ancient prophecy from the time of the legendary King Arthur that will change the face of Britain.
In this divided land, a boy grows to manhood in a family torn apart by ambition and betrayal. The path he takes will never be smooth—he will serve his enemy and betray his friends before he finds himself. But destiny is waiting to claim him. His name is Robert the Bruce, and his story begins in Insurrection.
