About This Book
A young shepherd boy living between civilization and the world beyond is taken and made a slave by an invading army. Led by an undefeated general with a penchant for cruelty, this unassuming adolescent finds his way into the commander's good graces through an apparently witless charm.
The general doesn't discover until far too late that the little shepherd boy was not at all what he seemed — and he and his army are led to their doom.
The Shepherd: A Bronze Age Tale by Tristan Nettles is a taut work of ancient historical fiction about hidden intelligence and quiet subversion. Written with a spare, precise style that suits both the period and the story, it's a novel about what someone overlooked can accomplish precisely because they are overlooked. For readers of historical fiction set in the ancient world, Bronze Age fiction, and military historical fiction. Distributed through Simon & Schuster and available in paperback and digital formats.
