## Description

Spain in the 1500s. The Iberian Peninsula is fractured, faiths collide and war brews. Into this world rides Telamon—soldier, killer, eternal outcast—drawn into a brutal conflict between Portuguese invaders and desperate Andalusian defenders. But he is not alone. Travelling with him through time and lifetimes are others—comrades, lovers, enemies—each reborn in a new guise, all of them entangled in a tale of cosmic justice. Steven Pressfield, the renowned master of the historical epic, poses questions that every warrior confronts: Can a man born to fight ever lay down his sword? And is redemption possible after so many lifetimes soaked in blood? A gripping standalone novel, as grounded in gritty realism as it is in the mysticism of the ancient Greek world, The Arcadian is a tale of war, fate and the search for release from a cycle as old as time itself. Steven Pressfield’s 36 Righteous Men was praised as:“Pressfield keeps the revelations coming at an apocalyptic pace in this page-turner.” —The Wall Street Journal
