Praise for the Outlaw Chronicles
‘Brimming with action’ – Adam Lofthouse, author of Eagle and the Flame
‘Donald at the height of his powers. Richly atmospheric, filled with sweeping vistas, blood-pumping action and romance. I couldn’t put it down. The highest praise I can give is this: I wish I’d written it myself!’ Matthew Harffy, author of the Bernicia Chronicles
