About this listen

The second installment in the Grail Quest series, from one of our bestselling authors.

In Harlequin, Thomas of Hookton travelled to France as an archer and there discovered a shadowy destiny, which linked him to a family of heretical French lords who sought Christendom's greatest relic: the Holy Grail.

Vagabond continues the story of a search that Thomas is reluctant to pursue. He doubts the grail's existence, and he has other promises to keep, promises that take him back to Brittany where a vicious civil war is about to reach its climax. But other folk, far more powerful than Thomas and his friends, fear the rumour of the grail's existence and force Thomas to pursue the relic, while his enemies, faceless and ruthless, fear Thomas's destiny and determine to destroy him. Thomas's allies are few and weak: a hedge priest, a renegade French knight, a Jewish adventurer and a crippled English soldier – but now they must unite and find greater strengths to pierce the mysteries of Christendom.

Critic reviews

‘What a very fine writer Mr Cornwell has become’

Great listening for all those who enjoyed the Sharp book and like the image of European history that Cornwell paints so well. The others in this series of 3 are equally good.

Cornwell at his best

They have split the story into two and charged twice for it. There is another unabridged version of this which I will now be switching to. Complete rip-off. Should be at least 10 hours for one book. They’ve cut it into a six hour part and charge for a full publication. In my view that is greedy and very bad value for money. Others may disagree but that’s my opinion.

RIP off
