'Bloody and beguiling.' THE TIMES
'A salty, action-packed saga.' MAIL ON SUNDAY

Spanning the sacking of England's south coastal towns by Castilian raiders, the cut-throat halls of Windsor Castle and a seismic, blood-soaked naval battle – no one brings medieval England as thrillingly to life as Sunday Times bestseller and master storyteller Dan Jones.

A COUNTRY ON THE BRINK.
AN ALLY TURNED FOE.
A FINAL CRUSADE.

1350. England reels in the aftermath of the Black Death. Towns emptied, families shattered, a kingdom weakened, and yet still, worse is to come.

After a failed alliance, the Castilians grow ever bolder in their threats against the Crown, mounting attacks onto English shores and even stealing people away.

Loveday FitzTalbot has survived a lifetime of battles, but never an enemy this elusive. When his newfound family is threatened, he is forced into dangerous work for a man whose loyalties shift like the tide.

This unknowingly leads him to a long-awaited reunion, a battle unlike any he has faced before and a final farewell that will change everything…
