Devil does for William the Conqueror what blockbuster TV series The Tudors did for Henry VIII ... see the story of William, Duke of Normandy in all its wild, intoxicating, unfailingly dramatic glory.
David Churchill writes with the immediacy of Conn Iggulden, the epic ambition of Bernard Cornwell and the plotting of CJ Sansom. The Leopards of Normandy trilogy tells the story of William the Conqueror in all its wild, intoxicating, unfailingly dramatic glory.
The fate of England hangs in the balance of a fight between brothers
The noble families of Europe are tearing themselves apart in their lust for power and wealth.
Emma, Queen of England, is in agony over the succession to her husband Canute's throne ... while her brother, the Duke of Normandy's sons battle in the wake of his death.
Robert, the younger son, has been cheated of Normandy's mightiest castle and sets out to take it by force. He emerges from a bloody siege victorious and in love with a beautiful - and pregnant - peasant girl.
Robert's child will be mocked as William the bastard. But we have another name for him
... Conqueror.
The first installment in the Leopards of Normandy trilogy paints a world seething with rivalry and intrigue, where assassins are never short of work.
