Von der hinteren Coverseite

1072 AD.
The Normans have captured England. The Turks have captured a Norman knight. And in order to free him, a warrior named Vallon must capture four rare hawks.

As they track their quarry to the far ends of the earth, from Greenland to Russia to Constantinople, Vallon and his comrades must brave raging Arctic seas, savage Vikings, and blood-drenched battlefields in a relentless race against time.

Ten years in the making, Hawk Quest is high adventure in the grand tradition of Bernard Cornwell, an epic story packed with visceral combat, marvellous period detail, and gripping suspense.

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