To further complicate matters, the boys arrive with a refugee in tow. Will Peter be able to cope with an instant family?

Jack Whyte's first collection of short stories offers a shift from his expansive historical narratives to a more intimate exploration of personal experiences. While it may seem like a departure, the essence of his storytelling remains intact, focusing on individual perspectives rather than sweeping historical events. This collection invites readers to engage with the emotional depth and nuanced characters that have characterized Whyte's work over the past two decades.

The hugely ambitious Bravehearts Chronicles reaches its climax with the tale of how Robert Bruce and William Wallace fought off the mighty English army and changed Scotland's history through blood, brains and bravery.

As modern Scotland chooses its future, Jack Whyte presents his epic adventure about its founding hero, Robert the Bruce, and the battle for the heart of his homeland.

The fifth book in Jack Whyte's remarkable, authentic Legends of Camelot series, now available in the UK

Když dávno bývalo Skotsko perlou severu. Mocenskou říši hrdých mužů a statečných žen. Jenže ty časy patří minulosti a příběhům. Nyní je království hračkou mocných, kteří neváhají zradit svou zemi a národ cizímu králi. Angličané to dobře vědí a pod rouškou nabídky pomoci si připravují půdu pro vlastní krutovládu. Jenže stejně jako se šíří násilí a nespravedlnost, v temných lesích, strmých horách a stísněných městečkách se probouzí hrdinství a ochota bojovat za téměř ztracený sen. Sen o cti a právu. O svobodném Skotsku. Tím, kdo bude za tento sen bojovat, je William Wallace. To on dal statečným srdcím směr, odvážným pažím sílu. To on se stane ochráncem Skotska. Jenže ne dnes. Zatím to není válečník ani postrach Anglie. Zatím je to prostý muž toužící po lásce své ženy a bezpečí své rodiny. Blíží se však den, kdy se všechna přání, všechna víra v dobro a slovo rytířů a odhodlání žít v míru obrátí v prach....

In his Sphere debut, Sunday Times-bestselling author Jack Whyte tells the bloody, action-packed story of one of history's most famous warriors: William Wallace, the man known as Braveheart.
