"A gripping story, replete with engaging characters... Puts you at the heart of one of the most remarkable battles of the medieval period." Saul David.
Crécy, 1346.
Edward III's army is outnumbered. But the king can no longer avoid giving battle.
Edward of Woodstock, the sixteen-year-old Prince of Wales, is to serve at the vanguard of his father's forces.
But there is more than just a battle to be won. William Gower, one of the prince's men-at-arms, is ordered to accompany a spy, Sir Hugh Grey, into enemy territory.
Gower may not return in time, if at all, to stand against Philip of France's grand army. The world of espionage may prove more perilous to that of soldiering.
Battle commences - and the young prince must earn his spurs.
The English may be outnumbered, but they are determined not to be outfought.
