France, 1356. After plague and years of mercenary service, Berenger joins the Black Prince’s chevauchée through south-western France. The English strategy deliberately destroys resources and settlements to force John II into battle, making civilians as important to the campaign’s purpose as the opposing army.

The vintaine’s march ends near Poitiers, where an outnumbered English force prepares to fight. Treachery within the company and the memory of earlier losses accompany a battle that will capture the French king while leaving the survivors to confront what victory has required.
