England, 1346: for Thomas Blackstone the choice is easy--dance on the
end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and
join the king's invasion of France.As he fights his way across northern
France, Blackstone will learn the brutal lessons of war--from the terror
and confusion of his first taste of combat, to the savage realities of
siege warfare. Vastly outnumbered, Edward III's army will finally
confront the armored might of the French nobility on the field of Crécy.
It is a battle that will change the history of warfare.
