The first book in the Insurrection trilogy, which tells the thrilling story of Robert the Bruce.

1286 A.D. Scotland is in the grip of the worst winter in living memory. Some say the Day of Judgement has arrived.

The King of Scotland rides out from Edinburgh into the stormy night. On the road he is murdered by one of his own men, leaving the succession to the throne wide open. Civil war threatens as the powerful Scottish families jostle for power, not knowing that King Edward I of England has set his own plans for conquest in motion.

But all is not destined to go Edward's way. Through the ashes of war, through blood feuds and divided loyalties, a young squire will rise to defy England's greatest king. His name is Robert Bruce.

Insurrection is the first in an addictive and action-packed trilogy in the tradition of Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell and Manda Scott.

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
