First published on the 700th anniversary of the pivotal event in Scottish history, the epic story of Robert Bruce comes to a climax at the Battle of Bannockburn.

Robert has achieved his great ambition to be crowned King of Scotland, but in doing so has provoked the wrath of the new king of England, Edward II. Raising the feared dragon banner, Edward marches north, determined to recapture the kingdom.

But the English are not Robert's only enemies, and he is forced to flee after murdering his great rival John Comyn, splitting the kingdom apart. Robert has a crown, but no country, the will to lead, but no real authority.

Fighting from hidden strongholds and the Western Isles, with the support of a few brave men and the alluring noblewoman, Christiana, Robert drives towards Bannockburn where an epic confrontation with Edward will decide the future of Scotland.

About Robyn Young

Robyn Young was born in Oxford and grew up in the Midlands and Devon. She has a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex and lives and writes in Brighton full-time. Her first novel BRETHREN was the bestselling hardback debut novel of 2006 with the paperback also going straight into the top ten bestseller list. Two more bestsellers followed CRUSADE and REQUIEM completing the Brethren trilogy which has now sold over a million copies and been translated into nineteen languages.The inspiration for Robyn's new trilogy which began with INSURRECTION and continues in RENEGADE grew out of an earlier research trip to Scotland. Robyn explains: 'Day by day out of the pages of history and the wild landscape one figure came striding larger clearer than all the others - Robert the Bruce. He swept me off my feet and carried me into a story of bitter family feuds two civil wars and the struggle for the crown. I realised there was no way this character could play a cameo role in another man's story. His tale was too powerful too intricate and too good to be cut down and boxed to fit.'To find out more about Robyn Young and her historical novels visit her website at www.robynyoung.com and her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RobynYoungAuthor and follow her on Twitter @RobynYoung36
