Fiction. Literature. Historical Fiction. HTML:The first novel in the breathtaking historical fiction series set during the Hundred Years' War. Amid the carnage of the the bloodiest conflict in medieval history, a young English archer confronts his destiny... England, 1346: For Thomas Blackstone the choice is easy – dance on the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and join the king's invasion of France. As he fights his way across northern France, Blackstone learns the brutal lessons of war – from the terror and confusion of his first taste of combat, to the savage realities of siege warfare. Vastly outnumbered, Edward III's army will finally confront the armoured might of the French nobility on the field of Crécy. It is a battle that will change the history of warfare, a battle that will change the course of Blackstone's life, a battle that will forge a legend. 'Page-turning and gritty' Daily Mail 'I'd never thought that another writer could rival Bernard Cornwell when it came to dramatizing battles, but David Gilman is giving him a real run for his money' Sharon Penman 'A gripping chronicle of pitched battle, treachery and cruelty' Robert Fabbri.
