The Lion Rampant by Robert Low
The third book in Robert Low’s stunning trilogy about the making of Scotland. It is 1314. Robert the Bruce has reigned for eight hard years, driving out his English enemies with fire and sword. Lives have been shredded by war – wives, daughters and lovers slain or imprisoned. His men have lost almost everything. But three great fortresses in the Kingdom remain under English rule: Roxburgh, Stirling and Edinburgh. Bruce must capture each stronghold after another to come face-to-face with Edward II, the English King humiliated by defeat and determined to put down his Scottish enemy once and for all. And the last great battle for the Scottish throne will be decided on a bloody field called Bannockburn.Praise for THE LION RAMPANT:
‘The Lion Rampant is pure Romance, exhilarating, appalling, compelling; great stuffIt is hard to think that anyone can do violent action better than Low… vivid, imaginative and blood-curdling’ THE SCOTSMAN
Praise for the KINGDOM series:
‘Intensely exciting, enjoyable and satisfying: a novel of honour, duty, chivalry, desperation, self-interest and fear’ Harry Sidebottom
‘A real master of historical fiction’ Ben Kane
‘Robert Low is on my “to read” list from now on’ Anthony Riches, author of The Empire Series
Praise for the OATHSWORN series:
'A company of warriors, desperate battles, an enthralling read' Bernard Cornwell
‘Filled with the kind of muscular, fast-moving prose that gives the story real depth and distinction’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘In the Oathsworn series he has created a completely convincing and utterly compelling modern Viking Saga. The history, myth and fiction are folded seamlessly together: wonderful, unbeatable stuff’ Harry Sidebottom
Robert Low has been a journalist and writer since the age of seventeen. He covered the wars in Vietnam, Sarajevo, Romania and Kosovo until common sense and the concerns of his wife and daughter prevailed.
To satisfy his craving for action, having moved to an area rich in Viking tradition, he took up re-enactment, joining The Vikings. He now spends his summers fighting furiously in helmet and mail in shieldwalls all over Britain and winters training hard.
