If it sounds like your thing, then it probably is - Mark Lawrence With its warring clans, sleeping giants, Banished Lands and omens and portents. I particularly enjoyed the battle scenes and duels. Hell of a debut: Highly recommended - Conn Iggulden With all manner of battles, betrayals and revelations. All I want now is for the author to put everything else aside, including his health - and write two or three more as fast as humanly possible. Great characters and plot - it gets faster and more fascinating by the page. Influenced by Gemmell's Rigante and GRR Martin's Game of Thrones - two good strands of DNA.

Only when he loses those he loves will he learn the true price of courage. He yearns to wield his sword and spear to protect his king's realm. Young Corban watches enviously as boys become warriors, learning the art of war.
