Críticas:

"Puts the reader firmly in the middle of the most blood-boltered of battles...historical fiction readers of robust tastes need look no further." (THE TIMES)

"Immaculately researched, with every detail of the cavalry spectacularly drawn, this is the work of an intensely accomplished historical novelist. Hervey's thrilling battles make for richly engaging old-fashioned storytelling." (DAILY MAIL)

"Battle scenes are what he does best." (THE SPECTATOR)

Reseña del editor:

Matthew Hervey of the 6th Light Dragoons is urgently summoned to the Cape Colony when he learns that the Zulu warrior King Shaka is about to wage war.

Soon Hervey, his old friend Eyre Somervile and their escort of dragoons and mounted rifles are riding north. When they arrive at Shaka's kraal it is a horrifying place. The sentinels at the gates are corpses, and it quickly becomes apparent that he has slaughtered thousands of his subjects - warriors and women alike.

When Shaka is killed by his own people, and the region plunged into civil war, Hervey and his men find themselves in the midst of terrible danger.

Yet worse is to come. Separated from his troop, Hervey must lead Shaka's queen across a hostile land where sanctuary has never seemed further away ...
