Summary

‘This is the original game of thrones’ George R.R. Martin 
From the publishers that brought you A Game of Thrones comes the series that inspired George R.R. Martin’s epic work. 
France became a great nation under Philip the Fair – but it was a greatness achieved at the expense of her people, for his was a reign characterised by violence, the scandalous adulteries of his daughters-in-law, and the triumph of royal authority. 
Maurice Druon's The Iron King is a riveting historical fiction that transports readers to the mediaeval era, a time of political upheaval and military action. This top-rated adventure, a standout in the realm of fiction thrillers, delves into the scandal-ridden reign of Philip the Fair, characterised by the triumph of royal authority and the adulteries of his daughters-in-law. 
For fans of Ken Follett (A Column of Fire), Robert Harris (V2), Elizabeth Chadwick (The Summer Queen), Sharon Penman (The Sunne in Splendour), and Robert Graves (The Golden Fleece).
