Formally known as a gladiator named Haakan Madrin, Argus Gunther is now returning to a place that holds nothing but the worst of his memories. Born of noble descent and thrown into the gladiator pits by his own mother to fight for his life at the age of five like all other common slaves, Argus Gunther now finds himself back in Hawkhurst, accompanying a noblewoman, Astrid Lancaster, to settle a family debt. Caught in the middle of a political power game known as the Aedfel, Argus has to find a way to unravel the intricate web the powerful political families weave around him to save both Astrid and himself. He must do this while keeping his real identity a secret, or pay the ghastly consequences brought on by his past in this epic adventure, The Hawkhurst Saga by Joshua Robertson.
Joshua Robertson is a rather gifted author who is capable of spinning a story that has you questioning your own theories and second guessing yourself. As soon as you think you know where he is going with this story, Mr. Robertson does a near ninety-degree change that has you wondering how you didn't see that coming. In The Hawkhurst Saga, Robertson captures an almost Viking-like feeling with just a hint of fanciful magic that is easy to follow, but leaves you guessing. The plot is intricate and though it starts out slowly, it doesn't stay that way for long. Almost instantly you find yourself caught in a dramatic web alongside the characters as you try to puzzle out the mystery.
