Brilliantly atmospheric, utterly compelling and beautifully written -- Caroline Lea
Roman military adventure at its bestRanks with the best historical fiction available today -- Simon Turney
The characters feel rounded and real, and the Sarmatians' attempts to keep their world alive are heartbreaking * The Times *
A gripping novel, truly immersing the reader in the world that the author has built * The Boar *
PRAISE FOR SMILE OF THE WOLF: 'Smile of the Wolf bares its fangs from the first page. Like a medieval tapestry, the storytelling is rich with imagery. Readers will be lured spellbound into this lyrical and evocative Icelandic saga. It deserves huge success' David Gilman. 'Superb... This is a thoughtful, literary take on a world that is more often depicted in a boy's adventure way. The focus in Leach's book is not on the fighting, but on the strange, inescapable logic that makes the fighting inevitable' The Times, Book of the Year. 'A poetic, absorbing narrative with many of the same qualities as the medieval Icelandic sagas that it echoes and reimagines' * Sunday Times, Book of the Year *
