A King's Armour cover

Istanbul, 1592: the arrival of a mysterious manuscript at the court of Sultan Murad III, claiming to know the location of the fabled Armour of King David, sends the Sultan into a frenzied desire to track it down. Despite being the most powerful man in the world, he has never led armies into battle and craves the protection of the legendary breastplate before he takes the field. It is to the elite Ruzgar unit that the Sultan turns to locate the Armour. This journey will be dangerous. Each warrior is aware that it could change their lives forever, and that for some of them, this mission to find King David's Armour will be their last.

‘King’s Armour is an amazing book, packed with adventure, intrigue and history. The characters are brought to life by the expertise of the author and the story carries on at a pace that makes turning every page a joy. Exceptionally worth reading and buying for children ages 9-14 or thereabouts. Great for home, school or library and would ably support other curriculum areas in school’ (Books go Walkabout) ‘A great story, full of derring-do, thrills and spills’ (Margaret McCulloch-Keeble, Orchard Academy) ‘A fantastic fast-paced adventure, with lots of plot twists, excitement and particularly strong historical detail, this story is perfect reading’ (Children’s Books Ireland’s Recommended Reads) 'A thoroughly researched, fantastic feat of imagination. Incredibly engaging and a rollicking read. More please!’(Pete Kalu)
