The brand-new medieval adventure from the master of historical fiction.

1368. France, Spain and England prepare for war. In Italy, the pope and the Visconti princes are battling for bloody supremacy.

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....

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

As always from Christian Cameron gripping from start to finish.

Peter noble is the perfect narrator for these books and makes them come alive.

Outstanding
