In 1367, Thomas Blackstone is entangled with Don Pedro of Castile while the Prince of Wales’s position in Aquitaine grows more dangerous. Blackstone remains bound by oath and service, but the mission forces him into a landscape where Plantagenet strategy, Castilian brutality and French opportunity all collide.
The novel belongs to the Castilian Civil War strand of the Hundred Years’ War. It uses Bordeaux, Aquitaine and Castile to show how English intervention in Iberia could win a battle yet worsen the political position of the Black Prince, leaving men such as Blackstone to survive the consequences of royal ambition.
