The first book of the "Insurrection" trilogy, which tells the thrilling story of Robert the Bruce. In 1286 AD, Scotland is under the influence of the worst winter it has ever known. Some claim that Judgment Day has arrived. The king of Scotland departs from Edinburgh into the stormy night. On the road, he is murdered by one of his men, leaving the succession of the throne open. Civil war threatens as powerful Scottish families fight for power, unaware that King Edward I of England has already drawn up his own plans for conquest. But not everything is destined to unfold according to Edward's desires. From the ashes of war, from family vendettas and divided loyalties, a young knight will rise to challenge the greatest king of England. His name is Robert the Bruce. "Insurrection" is the first of an addictive and action-packed trilogy in the tradition of Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell, and Manda Scott.
