Ten years after Crécy, Thomas Blackstone is no longer only an archer who survived a great battle. He has become a knight and war leader in northern France, but his position makes his family, land and reputation targets for enemies who understand that war is fought through treachery as well as open combat.
Set in 1356, the book belongs to the middle crisis of the Hundred Years’ War, when France is under pressure and English fortunes are still rising. Its setting connects the memory of Crécy to the political and military collapse around Poitiers, while keeping the focus on private loyalty, betrayal and the cost of holding territory in hostile country.
