The third instalment in the Essex Dogs series by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones, following the fortunes of ordinary soldiers in the early years of the Hundred Years' War.
Three years after the Essex Dogs battled through the Siege of Calais, the Black Death has torn through Europe.
Romford, basking in his new riches, now finds himself living as a squire in the glamorous court of King Edward III. Loveday, whose businesses have been destroyed by the plague, is desperate to avoid returning to the life he vowed to abandon: fighting. And Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille.
Each Dog has scattered in a radically different direction. But something is about to bring them back together. . .
