immaculately researched and carefully written, evoking a very particular - and largely unexplored - time and place. The fights are sensational (Daily Telegraph)

'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)

The King of Scotland is dead. As the nobles fight over succession, a boy grows to manhood in a divided land, in a family torn apart by ambition and betrayal. Civil war threatens as powerful Scottish families jostle for power, not knowing that King Edward of England, driven by an ancient prophecy, has set his own plans of conquest in motion. The boy’s path 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.
