Synopsis
Family history and his storytelling hero, Bernard Cornwell, inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write his first novels, the acclaimed Raven Viking series. He's been long fascinated by the English Civil War -- from absorbing the vibrant illustrations in school text books to appreciating the cold efficiency of Cromwell's New Model Army, admiring the flair of the Cavaliers and revelling in the romance of the doomed Royalist cause and it is this complex and brutal conflict that provides the backcloth to his new historical series, The Bleeding Land . Giles lives in Leicestershire.
