Book Review - Battle Song by Ian Ross.

 Battle Song.

I have read and enjoyed Ian Ross's "Twilight of Empire" series of novels set in the late Roman period and even appeared on one of the early book covers as it is one of my other periods of reenactment.  This book is the first of a new trilogy set in the mid-Thirteenth century during the years around the rebellion of Simon de Montfort.
