Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This tale of betrayal, intrigue, and prophecy pits the young squire Robert the Bruce against the King of England. The first book in the Insurrection trilogy is rich with vivid descriptions, visceral battles, and colourful characters, both historical and fictional. Robyn Young—author of the acclaimed Brethren series—delivers another staggeringly well-researched historical novel. She deftly brings to life the icy kingdoms and war-torn battlefields of late 13th-century Scotland, launching another enthralling trilogy.
