by David Donachie (Author)
Volume #3 in the Conquest trilogy. At the head of the de Hauteville family stands Robert, who has only one aim: to expand his power by military conquest. Roger, the youngest of the brothers, is a great fighter and canny politician. In company--and sometimes in conflict--with Robert, he will seek to raise the family to become rulers in their own right. Their chosen enemies are the mighty Saracen Emirs of Sicily, and conquest comes before all . . . even if the path is not easy.
