The New York Times bestselling historian makes his historical
fiction debut with an explosive novel set during the Hundred Years'
War.
July 1346. Ten men land on the beaches of Normandy. They call
themselves the Essex Dogs: an unruly platoon of archers and men-at-arms
led by a battle-scarred captain whose best days are behind him. The
fight for the throne of the largest kingdom in Western Europe has begun.
Heading ever deeper into enemy territory toward Crécy, this band of
brothers knows they are off to fight a battle that will forge nations,
and shape the very fabric of human lives. But first they must survive a
bloody war in which rules are abandoned and chivalry itself is
slaughtered.
Rooted in historical accuracy and told through an unforgettable cast,
Essex Dogs delivers the stark reality of medieval war on the ground -
and shines a light on the fighters and ordinary people caught in the
storm.
