THE GREATEST FIGHTERS HAVE EVERYTHING TO LOSE

1350
Three years on from the Siege of Calais:
The Black Death has wreaked havoc in Europe.
The Castilians are moving against England.
The Essex Dogs have scattered.

In Winchelsea, Loveday struggles to keep his tavern afloat in the aftermath of the Death. Nowadays, the only battles he fights are the ones within his own mind.

In Windsor, Romford thrives as a squire at King Edward III’s court, his days as an archer fading into memory. But when an unpaid debt threatens everything he’s built, Romford must call upon the lessons he learned all those years ago: be cunning. Be ruthless. Be quick.

With England still reeling from the Death and the Castilian threat on the rise, the kingdom's future has never been more uncertain.

Each had reasons for leaving the Essex Dogs behind. But a life like that isn’t so easily forgotten.

And for these men the fighting isn’t over yet…

The thrilling, unmissable conclusion to the Essex Dogs trilogy by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones.
