The army was led by the King, the great lords and knights, but it is the archers, the common men, who are to be England's secret weapon.Thomas of Hookton is one of the archers. But he is also on a personal mission – one he frequently forgets in the joy of fighting – to avenge his father's killing by a French raider and to retrieve his family's treasure. But the journey is far more complex and treacherous than he had expected, and the enemy who awaits him could harness the power of Christendom's greatest relic, the Grail itself.The first book in the Grail Quest series ends in the great battle of Crecy, the beginning of what became known as The Hundred Years War."A really excellent historical novel"EVENING STANDARDVAGABOND ‘It is all spectacular, rattling good stuff: war and torture; love, lust and loss.’ The TimesThomas of Hookton, having survived the battle of Crécy, is sent by the king on a mission to discover more of his father’s strange inheritance, which is rumoured to be connected to the Holy Grail.
