Giles Kristian's first historical novels were the acclaimed and bestselling RAVEN Viking trilogy - Blood Eye, Sons of Thunder and Odin's Wolves. For his next series, he drew on a long-held fascination with the English Civil War to chart the fortunes of a family divided by this brutal conflict in The Bleeding Land and Brothers' Fury. Giles also co-wrote Wilbur Smith's No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. In God of Vengeance (a TIMES Book of the Year), Winter's Fire, and the Historical Writers' Association Gold Crown shortlisted Wings of the Storm, he returned to the world of the Vikings to tell the story of Sigurd and his celebrated fictional fellowship. Lancelot, was published to great acclaim and hit The Times bestseller charts at No. 3. It was also a Sunday Times bestseller. His new novel, Camelot, is out now.
