Description
Amid the carnage of the Hundred Years’ War, the bloodiest conflict in medieval history, a young English archer confronts his destiny. England, 1346: for Thomas Blackstone, the choice is easy: dance at the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and join the king’s invasion. As he fights his way across northern France, Blackstone learns the brutal lessons of war, from the terror and confusion of his first combat to the savage realities of siege warfare. Vastly outnumbered, Edward III’s army finally confronts the armoured might of the French nobility on the field of Crécy. It is a battle that changes the history of warfare, changes the course of Blackstone’s life and forges a legend.
