Wolves of the Empire: The BRAND NEW epic, edge-of-your-seat Dark Age adventure from J C Duncan for 2025

The brand new epic adventure from bestselling author JC Duncan! Must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Peter Gibbons and Matthew Harffy ⚔️ Sworn to serve the empire, cursed to decide its fate.

1041 AD, Constantinople

The Byzantine empire is fading. Sick with corruption and complacency that paralyses its once mighty people, assailed from within and without by those who seek to feast upon its riches.

The emperor is dying, the empress is ageing, and rebellion threatens in the heart of their homelands. The last hope of the eternal empire might lie with a disgraced foreign mercenary.

Harald Hardrada fears nothing but failure or dishonour. For eight years he has faithfully served the heirs of Caesar, but has failed in his goal to earn the riches and reputation he needs to reclaim the throne of Norway.

Empress Zoe makes Harald one final offer to save both of their ambitions: He can have all the riches and glory that he desires, if he breaks his oaths and delivers the empire into her grasp. Is Harald the man of his word or will he bend to the empress’s ruthless demands?

The explosive next chapter in the extraordinary tale of Harald Hardrada
