IT IS ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE THAT HEROES ARE MADE...AND LEGENDS BORN
1073- Under the merciless sun of the East, a dark force has risen - a Norman adventurer with intensely bloody ambition. He has conquered his land, he has built his fortress and he has amassed his army. And now he has taken Constantinople's ruler as his prisoner...
It falls to Hereward to rescue this precious captive. For this great English warrior-in-exile and his spear-brothers, it will mean mounting a raid that could prove the most dangerous of their lives.
Assisting them in their task will be an elite and legendary band of fighters, the Immortals - so-called because they believe they cannot die in battle.
But it will not be enough - for enemies hide within the jewelled heart of Byzantium who want to see the English dead at any cost. They will transform a mission that was at best dangerous into an adventure that is now suicidal. . .
Hereward- The Immortals is the fifth book in James Wilde's six book Hereward series. His story continues in Hereward- The Bloody Crown. Have you read Hereward, Hereward- The Devil's Army, Hereward- End of Days and Hereward- Wolves of New Rome- the first four books in the series?
