  • "When Thomas of Hookton's village is sacked by raiders, he becomes an archer in the army of King Edward III who, with his son, the Black Prince, is going to war in France. Thomas becomes known for his fearsome skills, but when he falls in love with a Breton widow, one of the enemy, he becomes a fugitive, hunted by the French and English alike. But an adversary rescues him, leading him into a world beyond the horizon, where a man awaits him, a man who possesses something Thomas once made a sacred promise to retrieve."@en
  • "In the 14th century, dark days fell on the Church as two popes, one in Rome and the other in Avignon, each supported by different political empires, struggled for supremacy. Hearing of a secret which may bring them victory, one side hired a mercenary to retrieve this priceless information."
  • "The first book in Bernard Cornwell's bestselling Grail Quest series, in a bright and bold repackage. The year is 1342. The English, led by Edward III, are laying waste to the French countryside. The army may be led by the King, but it is the archers, the common men, who are England's secret weapon. The French know them as Harlequins. Thomas of Hookton is one of these archers. But he is also on a personal mission: To avenge his father's death and retrieve a stolen relic. Thomas begins a quest that will lead him through fields smeared with the smoke of fires set by the rampaging English, until at last the two armies face each other on a hillside near the village of Crécy."@en
