'The master of historical fiction' SUNDAY TIMES
Sharpen your sword and prepare for battle...
1367: Europe stands on the brink of total war.
Political alliances are beginning to rupture, and no state is immune: England, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Milan Genoa, Venice, Constantinople . . . Every mercenary knight must sharpen his sword and prepare for battle.
But Sir William Gold has other problems. Just to reach Europe, he must capture its most unassailable fortress. He must also protect his liege lord, the Green Count, from assassins hell-bent on his death.
The balance of power in the West will change. William Gold must trust in hope, and his men, that he lands on the winning side...

The historical authenticity (notwithstanding this being a work of fiction) is superb and I can totally forgive the author for his detailed fight descriptions - after all, he freely admits to this being a passion. I never knew there were so many parts to a sword :-). Fights aside, the author has that great skill of making the characters large as life in the mind of the reader. Third time round and still excellent.
Finally, his epilogue gives real pause for thought about how chivalry - a set of rules for combat - has, or should have resonance in today’s world, beyond jus warfare but into such areas as law enforcement also.
Another great reincarnation of 14th century city/country/religious/family politics and conflict beautifully told
