Новинки Роберта Лоа

Конец XIII века. Английский монарх Эдуард Длинноногий только что потопил в крови Уэльс. Теперь он хочет сделать то же самое с непокорной землей скоттов. Роберт Брюс, шотландский лорд королевских кровей, страстно желает взойти на престол своей страны. Он готов использовать любые средства, чтобы сделать Шотландию могущественной и процветающей. И стоит перед выбором: сокрушить в союзе с Англией остальных претендентов на трон – или встать с ними бок о бок против войск Эдуарда…

Юный ярл Орм по-прежнему возглавляет Обетное Братство – отряд викингов, спаянный узами общей клятвы, принесенной Всеотцу Одину: быть вместе и в мире, и в войне. Его побратимы, казалось бы, остепенились и прочно осели на берегу, но огонь приключений и опасности в их сердцах не угас. И снова они отправляются в поход за проклятым серебром Аттилы, к необъятным просторам Травяного моря. Спокойная жизнь на суше не для побратимов – такая уж у них судьба. Но теперь викинги не одни – вместе с ними из Новгорода идет дружина юного князя Владимира, которому также не терпится добраться до сокровищ великого завоевателя. Чем закончится этот трудный поход?…

The long awaited return to Robert Low's Oathsworn series Island of Mann, 979AD. A man lies dying with a message he cannot take to his grave, a sworn secret that must be passed on only to Olaf Tryggvasson, kin of Harald Fairhair of the Yngling line and true prince of Norway, also known as Crowbone. When the message finally arrives, so begins a quest to discover its meaning, and for Crowbone to gain what is rightfully his: the crown of Norway. With a band of Chosen Men, Crowbone begins an unforgiving journey that will see him face the challenge of new enemies and confront his suspicions of treachery from old friends. Looming over all is his ultimate rival; Gunnhild, the Witch Mother of Kings, Crowbone's arch-enemy who will stop at nothing to prevent him from knowing what and where this secret is. In the fifth installment of his Oathsworn series, Robert Low is back to his full-blooded Viking best, this time visiting the harsh terrain of the North Sea coast, in a tale about one man's quest for survival and the unexpected alliances that emerge, as the very bonds that tie the Oathsworn together are put to the test.

Братство Одина ждет от своего вожака, молодого Орма Торговца, что тот приведет их домой из далекого Миклагарда. Но Орм лишается своего легендарного меча, на рукояти которого рунами вырезана дорога к сокровищам Атли. Меч похитил коварный викинг Старкад, и побратимы отправляются за ним в погоню. Дорога китов пролегает на сей раз по суше - по охваченной распрями Византии и пустыням Ближнего Востока, - но эта суша многократно опаснее морской пучины, недаром ее прозвали Волчьим морем...

A nation will fight for its freedom.

The first novel in a major new series as Robert Low moves from the Vikings to the making of Scotland.

In the dying days of the 13th century, Scotland is in turmoil. The death of Alexander III has plunged the country into war, both with itself and with Edward I of England. Determined to bring the north under his control, Edward instead unleashes a Scottish rebellion which unites the many warring factions against him - though the old hatreds are not easily put aside.
Sir Hal Sientcler of Herdmanston, a minor noble of Lothian, finds himself caught up in the chivalry and honour, as well as the betrayal and murder that form these desperate days. As the rebellion gathers pace, Sir Hal is thrust into the maelstrom of plot and counterplot which shapes the lives of the great and good in both realms - including rebel leaders William Wallace and Robert the Bruce - as well as neighbours who now find themselves on opposite sides of the battlefield.
Hal makes a powerful enemy out of the Earl of Buchan, arch-rival of the Bruces, and swears revenge. But first he must survive battles at Stirling Brig and Falkirk; the treachery of rival factions; and guard a secret that Robert the Bruce would protect from the outside world at any cost.
When the lion wakes, everyone must fear its fangs…

The Oathsworn have become feared and respected throughout the Viking world. Their name goes before them and men cower in their presence, but they soon discover that fame comes at a price. While the Oathsworn revel in their newfound glory, Sterki, an old enemy with revenge in his heart, attacks their homestead--the Fjord Elk is sunk, old oar mates die, and the Oathsworn are forced to flee into the mountains. Unaccustomed to losing, the men retreat to lick their wounds. They have been entrusted with the care of Queen Sigrith, pregnant and soon to bear the heir to the crown of Sweden, and though the urge for revenge is strong, Orm's first duty is to protect the queen. He soon realizes that revenge is not the only thing on Sterki's mind; he has joined forces with Styrbjorn, nephew of King Eirik and next in line to the throne--if he can only get rid of the current heir. As the Oathsworn fight to defend themselves and their newfound celebrity and fortune, they're soon to realize that fame isn't all it's cracked up to be.
