Camaban becomes a great visionary and feared wise man, and it is his vision that will force the youngest brother, Saban, to create the great temple on the green hill where the gods will appear on earth. The eldest, Lengar, the warrior, harnesses his murderous ambition to be a ruler and take great power for his tribe. The three sons of Ratharryn's chief each perceive the great gift in a different way. One summer's day, a dying stranger carrying great wealth in gold comes to the settlement of Ratharryn. Bernard Cornwell's new novel, following the enormous success of his Arthurian trilogy (The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur) is the tale of three brothers and of their rivalry that creates the great temple.
