Henry V lands in France determined to recover territories and rights he believes belong to the English crown. The campaign begins with confidence but disease and exhaustion reduce his army dramatically, leaving the king with fewer men and less freedom of movement than planned. His attempt to reach safety becomes a hazardous march across hostile country.

French forces gather to block the English near Agincourt, bringing Henry to a battle he cannot easily avoid. The novel follows the campaign from siege and sickness to the confrontation on St Crispin’s Day, where terrain, discipline and the English longbow become decisive against an army that appears overwhelmingly stronger on paper.
