Présentation de l'éditeur

The second volume in the THRILLING Invader series.

'Great characters, strident battles and a story to be savoured' David Gilman

It is 1170  a tumultuous time for the people of Wales, England and Ireland. Raymond de Carew is in love, but the woman he desires is an earl's daughter and so far above his station that he has no hope of ever winning her.

However, Raymond s lord has a mission for him: one that if it succeeds will put an Irish king back on his throne and prove Raymond worthy  for in Norman society, a man can rise as high as his skill with a sword can take him.

With only a hundred men at his side, Raymond must cross the ocean to Ireland ahead of his mercenary lord's invasion. There he will face the full might of the Viking city of Waterford... and either his deeds will become legend or he will be trampled into dust.

Revue de presse

"This lyrical novel is rich in history and evokes a wonderful sense of time and place. Great characters, strident battles and a story to be savoured." --David Gilman, author of Master of War

"It is not just the grim gore of the Anglo-Norman battlefield that springs to life in Butler's skillful telling. Even better, he finds his way into the minds and spirits of those men for whom the ultimate prize was a nation." --E.M. Powell, author of The Lord of Ireland

"From tourneys to treachery; from Welsh Marches to Irish marauders, Ruadh Butler propels us into the tumultuous times of the twelfth century. The clangour of swords and battle cries of knights echo from the pages of 'Lord of the Sea Castle', as Butler tells a gripping tale with skill, verve and gusto." --Matthew Harffy, author of The Serpent Sword
