Experience the epic blood feuds of ancient Greece with master storyteller Conn Iggulden! Vivid, atmospheric, gritty... you'll believe you're on the battlefield fighting for your life!

"An epic piece of historical fiction, full of political intrigue and vivid action," Robert Fabbri writes. "Iggulden doesn't just describe the ancient world; he takes you there."

"Two legendary battles. One fearless warrior," says the blurb. "Themistocles stands as the battle-scarred leader of Athens. Yet he is no nobleman. The elite distrust him. But those conspiring against him cannot argue with his victories on the battlefield. Or the vast Persian army that is coming..."

And so Themistocles must fight. Fight the invaders. Fight the allies who despise him. Fight to save his city. As the Persians draw close, he must prove himself again and again in battle.

"To live or die for Athens."

Brings war in the ancient world to vivid, gritty, and bloody life. I'm blown away!

"Protector stands alongside the best of Mary Renault - an epic with the learning of the classics," Anthony Riches writes. "Readers are raving about PROTECTOR: Iggulden's achievement is to tell the story of the conflict on a human scale without losing sight of the huge historical and cultural forces at play. Educational and entertaining, Protector is a compelling read."

"As soon as you see the name Conn Iggulden, you know you're in for a treat. Always. I can't tell you how much I enjoy Conn Iggulden's writing," a reader review says. "Empire, Sunday Times bestseller, June 2023."
