The year 1316 was a bleak one for anyone who lived in the North of England. King Edward II had been humiliated at Bannockburn two years before, and appeared to be powerless against his cousin and political adversary, Thomas earl of Lancaster. Both men ignored the Northern counties of England as they continued their power struggle, leaving Robert Bruce a free hand to raid as widely and often as he wished.Only one man offered any hope to the beleaguered Northerners. Andrew de Harcla had led the defence of Carlisle the previous year, proving that the Scots were not invincible, but he had been betrayed by his own enemies in Cumberland, and was now incarcerated in a Scottish dungeon. But after one particularly devastating Scottish raid, Edward II managed to ransom Andrew, and re-instated him as commander of Carlisle. But it left Andrew with an almost impossible task, to safeguard not just Carlisle but the whole of the Cumberland border, but with no money or resources to do so. He had to rely on his wits, initiative and inventiveness at first, helped both by comrades who had fought alongside him in the siege of Carlisle and the wise advice of his friend and confessor, Simon Calder the prior of St Cuthberts. And from those blackest of days he evolved new ways to counter the Scots and once again provide the people of the Northern counties with some form of hope for a better future.

Narrated from death row by Alcibiades’ bodyguard and assassin, a man whose own love and loathing for his former commander mirrors the mixed emotions felt by all Athens, Tides of War tells an epic saga of an extraordinary century, a war that changed history, and a complex leader who seduced a nation. Brilliant at war, a master of politics, and a charismatic lover, Alcibiades was Athens’ favorite son and the city’s greatest general. A prodigal follower of Socrates, he embodied both the best and the worst of the Golden Age of Greece. A commander on both land and sea, he led his armies to victory after victory. But like the heroes in a great Greek tragedy, he was a victim of his own pride, arrogance, excess, and ambition. Accused of crimes against the state, he was banished from his beloved Athens, only to take up arms in the service of his former enemies. For nearly three decades, Greece burned with war and Alcibiades helped bring victories to both sides — and ended up trusted by neither. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Steven Pressfield's The Profession. Praise for Tides of War “Pressfield’s battlefield scenes rank with the most convincing ever written.”—USA Today “Pressfield serves up not just hair-raising battle scenes . . . but many moments of valor and cowardice, lust and bawdy humor. . . . Even more impressively, he delivers a nuanced portrait of ancient athens.”—Esquire “Unabashedly brilliant, epic, intelligent, and moving.”—Kirkus Reviews “Pressfield’s attention to historic detail is exquisite. . . . This novel will remain with the reader long after the final chapter is finished.”—Library Journal “Astounding, historically accurate tale . . . Pressfield is a master storyteller, especially adept in his graphic and embracing descriptions of the land and naval battles, political intrigues and colorful personalities, which come together in an intense and credible portrait of war-torn Greece.”—Publishers Weekly

Two warriors, masters of conflict, one disciplined, stoical and focussed. The other, wild of nature, savage of disposition. Both fashioned as humanity’s saviours; a powerful, jealous Krarl rejected by all, a noble Morgan responsible for future peace, still uncertain of his direction. Morgan, a supreme Battle Lord with mysterious powers, hides in disguise as an adviser to parochial kings. Exposed by fate, war finds him in the form of an ambitious general representing the greedy empire of the Protectorate. With his forces defeated in the field and his king killed, Morgan flees with his young protégé Nathaniel. The ensuing journey is fraught with hardship, strife, betrayal and close order combat, as Morgan seeks out old alliances to seize back what stands unjustly taken. Is Kingship truly his aim? All, allies and foe alike, view him with suspicion. His task lies further complicated by the unfathomable, age-old relationship between him and his twin, who harbours a deep-seated bitterness towards his brother’s destiny.
