Before the sun returns, six destinies will have been made - and lost - in Darien.br>br>Welcome to the Empire of Salt, where sword and sorcery are at their finest . . . br>br>br>''A master storyteller'' Sunday Expressbr>br>''Iggulden is in a class of his own'' Daily Mirrorbr>br>''One of our finest historical novelists'' Daily Express>
