Elias Crowe

Historical fiction of mountains, empires and defiance.

Elias Crowe writes sweeping historical fiction set on the frontiers of empire. A long-time student of Balkan and Byzantine history, he travels to every landscape he writes about, notebook in hand.

His debut, Skanderbeg: The Dragon of Albania, tells the story of the 15th-century commander who held back the Ottoman Empire for a quarter of a century.
