It began with a promise. It will end at Hastings. William of Normandy, sworn heir to the English throne, is no longer the boy Duke but a loyal and proven warrior. Few dare challenge him, but England is an irresistible prize. The handsome, ambitious Harold Godwinson and the Viking Hardrada are both determined to stake a claim. William faces his greatest ever battle: deny his own destiny or conquer the land he was born to rule. History will be written in the blood of those who fall.

David Churchill's The Leopards of Normandy trilogy continues with Duke, as William of Normandy inherits his father's title and assumes command of his lands. Churchill's style brings to mind the vibrancy of Conn Iggulden and will enthrall fans of Bernard Cornwell and Ben Kane.

Ma quando la sua unità si ritrova coinvolta nell'inferno della battaglia di Stalingrado, si rende conto che le possibilità di uscirne vivo si affievoliscono di giorno in giorno.

Così, mentre inizia un pericoloso gioco del gatto e del topo, prende forma un oscuro complotto contro la coppia… un complotto le cui ripercussioni attraverseranno tutta l'Europa.
