Robyn Young
Then in 2006 her debut novel Brethren was picked up by Hodder. It became the UK's bestselling hardcover debut of that year with both the paperback and hardback editions going straight into the top ten bestseller lists.
In 2007, Waterstone's named her one of their top 25 authors of the future and the hardback edition of her second book, Crusade, spent five weeks in the top ten. Both the hardback and paperback versions of the subsequent book in the series, Requiem, were Sunday Times Bestsellers.
Sales for historical fiction have seen a dramatic increase over the last few years and Robyn's books are a major part of that. The Brethren trilogy has now sold over 800,000 copies in the UK alone and has been translated into 19 different languages.
Robyn Young was born in Oxford and grew up in the Midlands and Devon. She has worked as a festival organizer, a music promoter, an investment advisor and as a teacher of creative writing. She has a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex and lives in Brighton.
Samenvatting
From the burning plains of Syria to the filthy backstreets of Paris and London, the Brethren trilogy is the story of Will Campbell, coming of age in a time of conspiracy, passion, politics and war.
Will has been brought up from boyhood in the ways of the all-powerful Order of the Knights Templar. With a tragedy in his past that looms over his future, he faces a long, hard apprenticeship to the foul-tempered scholar Everard, before he can have any chance of becoming a Knight. As he struggles to survive in the harsh discipline of the Temple, Will must try to make sense of many things: his own past, the dangerous mystery that surrounds Everard, and his confused feelings for Elwen, the strong-willed young woman whose path seems always to cross his own.
Meanwhile, a new star is rising in the East. A ruthless fighter and brilliant tactician, the former slave Baybars has become one of the greatest generals and rulers of his time. Haunted by his early life, he is driven by an unquenchable desire to free his people from the European invaders of his homeland.
With page-turning suspense and thrilling action, the Brethren trilogy brilliantly evokes that extraordinary clash of civilizations known in the West as the Crusades. Robyn Young portrays a rich cast of characters, reflecting on each side greed, ambition and religious fanaticism, as well as courage, love and faith.
