Description: "Six brothers, the sons of Tancred de Hauteville, prepare to experience their first taste of battle ... 1033, the Norman/French border. They have been trained since birth to become great warriors, following in their father{u2019}s footsteps. As knights, they have but one true purpose: to fight. But denied service with their duke, they are forced to take employment as mercenaries; their unequaled battle skills are for hire to the highest bidder. Victory and defeat, betrayal and revenge combine as the desperation to rule becomes an intense battle, testing even the strongest of ties"--Publisher description.
