A soldier races against time to capture four hawks—braving ruthless warlords, bloody battles, and brutally cold seas—in this heart-stopping historical adventure.

The year is 1072.

The Normans have captured England. The Turks have captured a Norman knight. And in order to free him, a soldier named Vallon must capture four rare hawks.

On a heart-stopping journey to the far ends of the earth, braving Arctic seas, Viking warlords, and the blood-drenched battlefields, Vallon and his comrades must track down their quarry one by one in a relentless race against time.

The scale is huge. The journey is incredible. The history is real. This is Hawk Quest.

  • "Quite simply, Hawk Quest is the best book I've read this year. I lovedthis book. I wish I'd written it."
    Ben Kane
  • "An 11th-century epic with action to equal the best of Bernard Cornwell. THISis writing."
    Anthony Riches
  • "Only once in a generation does a first novel emerge which has such power and depth and scope. With Hawk Quest, Robert Lyndon has shown himself a master storyteller of the highest quality. An absorbing, viscerally moving epic that takes the standard historical fare of love, treachery, passion, and redemption and lifts them into a new stratosphere. I got lost in this for days on end, and never wanted to emerge. Outstanding!"
    M.C. Scott
