Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! Conn Iggulden is well-known for writing historical fiction books. He was born in 1971 to an English father and an Irish mother. He attended St. Martins School located in Northwood before transferring to Merchant Taylor’s School. Whilst Conn’s homage to his hero David Gemmell is clear throughout, this is not a typical medieval-esque Fantasy. Admittedly Darien is a city in a world with a long and rich history, some of which we read of here, and many of the residents of the city live a harsh peasant-like existence, it is a world more akin to the global Empire building of the Mercantile Era, c16-18th century, than most traditional Fantasy novels. This is also shown by presence of guns in this world, something more akin to Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere worlds or even Gemmell’s Jon Shannow than, say, Game of Thrones. It is a violent and treacherous place filled with warriors, spies, magicians and mercenaries. Harry Hodges (4 October 2013). "War of the Roses: Stormbird by Conn Iggulden – review". Daily Express . Retrieved 22 January 2015.Darien is clearly meant to be the first in a series and not a stand-alone. What this means is that the book introduces the reader to people and places that are going to develop over more than one book. The plan at present is for a trilogy. In 2017, Iggulden published a historical fiction novel called Dunstan, [11] chronicling the life of the 10th century monk and political adviser to the Saxon Kings of England, St. Dunstan.
