'Absolutely fabulous... I never wanted it to stop.' ANTONIA FRASER
From a vast siege camp built outside Calais' walls into the darkest corners of a starving city, this is the captivating, brutal reality of surviving a medieval war brought vividly to life by a master storyteller and Sunday Times bestselling historian.
AN ENDLESS WAR.
A BLOOD-SOAKED BATTLEFIELD.
A BAND OF BROTHERS.
1347. After a bloody battle at Crécy, the Essex Dogs pick through the wreckage of the fighting – and their own lives.
Now the Dogs are sent to attack the soaring walls of Calais where a new siege is beginning. To get home, they must survive in a lawless camp that is deadlier than any battlefield.
Obsessed with finding the Captain, Loveday is losing control of his men. Romford is haunted by a horrific figure from his past. And Scotsman is spiralling into a pit of drink, violence and self-pity.
