Lord of the Silver Bow

In Lord of the Silver Bow, the first in an epic trilogy, David Gemmell combines vivid characterisation with a wealth of historical detail in a compelling, unputdownable novel of love and hatred, ambition and rivalry, peace and war.

Three lives will change the destiny of nations.

Helikaon, the young prince of Dardania, haunted by a scarred and traumatic childhood; the priestess Andromache, whose fiery spirit and fierce independence threatens the might of kings; and the legendary warrior Argurios, cloaked in loneliness and driven only by thoughts of revenge.

In Troy they find a city torn apart by destructive rivalries – a maelstrom of jealousy, deceit and murderous treachery. And beyond its fabled walls blood-hungry enemies eye its riches and plot its downfall. It is a time of bravery and betrayal; a time of bloodshed and fear.

A time for heroes.
