Summary
When the falcon has flown, the mountain lion will charge from the east, and all Byzantium will quake. Only one man can save the empire ... the Haga!
1046 AD. The Byzantine Empire teeters on full-blown war with the Seljuk Sultanate. In the borderlands of Eastern Anatolia, a land riven with bloodshed and doubt, young Apion's life is shattered in one swift and brutal Seljuk night raid. Only the benevolence of Mansur, a Seljuk farmer, offers him a second chance of happiness.
Yet a hunger for revenge burns in Apion's soul, and he is drawn down a dark path that leads him right into the heart of a conflict that will echo through the ages.

Exciting stuff!
Much like the author's Roman series in structure but possibly more interesting in terms of time period and setting. I really enjoyed the main character's growth and thought it was an entertaining v listen thanks to the narrator.
Great stuff!

Excellent byzantine fiction
Byzantium is not an easy place to write about. This book does a fine job in weaving an adventure story into byzantine history.

A Gripping Historical Epic
Wonderfully written story of a Byzantium hero in the making with epic battles, a great storyline and meaningful characters. Really folds into the historical feeling of the age including a very Roman mythical element which is down to earth and real. The only criticism is that it is not as funny as eg a Scarrow, with the sassy banter between soldiers lacking the same colour. Perfoance of the narrator was strong and accomplished.
