The BRAND NEW action-packed, epic historical adventure from Michael Jecks Once they'd had enough of war... Now they've had enough of peace 1359, Northern France. With the ink still drying on the Treaty of Bretigny, an agreement most believed to be nothing more than a stalemate between King Edward III of England and John II of France, the country is left riddled with both English and France armies – exhausted, adrift and directionless. An atmosphere ripe for rebellion. Berenger Fripper returns to the only life he truly understands, among the troops of Hawkwood's company. But danger and treachery lurk around every abandoned French farm or village. When the company comes across the promise of riches hidden in a monastery, the motley crew finally feel as though their luck is changing… But as quickly as they find the treasure, quicker still it's stolen from under their noses, and as they seek revenge on the unknown thief, they find themselves swept up in the might - and the politics - of the Great Company… Will any of them get out alive?
