The worst years of Sir William Gold's life are about to begin.

Leaving the side of his commander, Sir John Hawkwood, William embarks on a new journey that will bring him fame and favour - until a heart-breaking personal tragedy leads him to put down his sword.

But men of war can't stay out of battle for long. Gold yearns to return to Italy and rejoin Hawkwood. Only now the game of the Italian princes is changing and, as chaos descends, Gold must finally decide who he stands for....

Great story.The chessboard of Europe's internecine squabbles is on fire. And William Gold is right in the middle of it. Recommended

Machiavelli would have approved!

This is quite a different book to the last 4, which I think are excellent. This book spends alot of time on a journey of pilgrimage. It gets very boring which is a real shame as I loved the past entries in this series. I skipped at least 3 hours of the story as it was just rambling on and on

Very boring, half the book is wasted on pilgrimage

A lifelong love of history, especially medieval history, including reenacting the period of Edward I reign many moons ago, has never led me to any author who can transport me to those periods in such a real way as Christian can. And he has done it yet again. Thank you, Christian, for what you do.
Narration is also superb.

Superb, as ever.
