    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    As an empire burns, he will rise from the ashes.

    Sparrow, the Sunday Times bestselling historical epic by James Hynes, is the incredibly moving story of one boy?s journey to freedom in the harsh world of the Roman Empire.

    Raised in a brothel at the edge of a dying empire, a boy of no known origin creates his own identity. He is Sparrow.

    Sparrow?s world consists of a kitchen and herb-scented garden, a loud and dangerous tavern, and the mysterious upstairs where the wolves, the women who have shaped his world, conduct their business. Where freedom is only for a privileged few, Sparrow?s life is hard-edged and violent.

    But change is coming.

    The world outside his garden is about to be reshaped, and as an empire crumbles, murder and mayhem will come to Sparrow?s door. As the only family he?s ever known scatters, will Sparrow fall ? or fly?
