Praise for Stephen Lawhead: 'I can confidently assure you that fantasy writing doesn't get much better than this' The Express 'Powerful and deeply moving. The Iron Lance is an engrossing read' Starburst 'This is a rip-roaring adventure story; the pace rarely flags. There's scheming, murder and betrayal aplenty' Interzone 'A vivid historical setting and a lengthy and satisfying plot' Publishing News
Born and raised in America, Lawhead moved to the UK, to Oxford, in order to research into Celtic legend and history. He lives in Iffley with his wife, writer Alice Slaikeu Lawhead, and their two sons, Ross and Drake.
