Conn Iggulden recommends

The King's Mother (2024)
Annie Garthwaite
"Intense and personal, with stakes as great as kingdoms and a mother's love."

Leeward (2023)
(Nightingale & Courtney, book 1)
Katie Daysh
"There is a weight of human insight here that is quite dazzling. A story told with such panache deserves a bestseller mass audience."

Babylon (2022)
(Alexander's Legacy, book 4)
Robert Fabbri
"The locations and characters are truly epic - this may be the greatest tale of the ancient world. Terrific series. Scene by scene, I grew to love these characters. Fabbri has captured darkness in a bottle here. This series unfolds old maps, beats an ancient drum. Hugely enjoyable."

Shadow of the Eagle (2022)
(Borderlands , book 1)
Damion Hunter
"I adored Faustus and Constantia in particular. Great sense of humour throughout. This is a terrific read."

The Drowned City (2021)
(Daniel Pursglove, book 1)
K J Maitland
"Spies, thieves, murderers and King James I? Brilliant."

Camelot (2020)
Giles Kristian
"A masterpiece."

The Lady of the Ravens (2020)
(Queens of the Tower, book 1)
Joanna Hickson
"A great tale… the golden thread that led to the crown of England."

While You Sleep (2018)
Stephanie Merritt
"Utterly Gripping."

The Rage of Fortune (2017)
(Matthew Quinton Journals, book 6)
J D Davies
"Hornblower, Aubrey and Quinton-a pantheon of the best adventures at sea!."

Betrayal (2017)
(Centurions , book 1)
Anthony Riches
"This is fast-paced and gripping 'read-through-the-night' fiction, with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both."

Oswiu: King of Kings (2016)
(Northumbrian Thrones, book 3)
Edoardo Albert
"Edoardo Albert's book is brilliant: hugely enjoyable, a galloping plot with characters I care about--exactly the sort of thing I love to read. . . This was a joy to read from start to finish."
