One man. Seven Kings. England´s bloody throne. The perfect gift for Father´s Day.
´Iggulden tells an absolutely cracking story. The pace is nail-biting and the set dressing magnificent´ The Times
Tenth century England: a divided and broken country of misrule. Yet King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, seeks to unite the kingdom under one crown. By his side is Dunstan of Glastonbury - priest, soldier, visionary and, some insist, traitor - whose task is to steward seven kings through fire, war, murder and fury to see Athelstan´s dream come true. But what stain will it leave on his mortal soul?
´Iggulden has created an intriguingly complex saint - flawed, spiteful and unreliable as the teller of his own tale. Through his eyes we watch the story of the making of England´ The Times
´Engrossing. Rich in intrigue, with Iggulden breathing life into this remarkable and complex figure who played a vital role in safeguarding a newly united England´ Daily Express
´A gripping and glorious legend. Brilliant!´ Weekend Sport
´Breathes new life into the darkest and most dramatic of times´ Star
