A comprehensive guidebook for readers of the landmark Sparrowhawk series, The Sparrowhawk Companion includes critical essays, detailed character profiles, and an extensive glossary and bibliography. Praise for the Sparrowhawk series: “Enthralling…Filled with period detail and characters readers will care about…Comparing favorably to the swashbuckling action of a Rafael Sabatini novel and the grueling realism of Bernard Cornwell, this is the best kind of historical fiction, a tale that reflects and illuminates its age.” —Publishers Weekly
