Hawkwood’s Sword

Sir William Gold has become an experienced captain, but service under John Hawkwood places him inside a military economy in which loyalty lasts only as long as contracts and pay. Campaigns across Italy, France and Spain force William to negotiate with princes who value his company’s usefulness while distrusting the men who fight for money.

Personal loss and divided obligations make withdrawal impossible. William must decide whether to remain one of Hawkwood’s swords or command on his own terms, even as the wars of kings and city-states pull his household, comrades and reputation into conflicts that cannot be resolved by battlefield courage alone.
