THE HUNDRED YEARS' WAR COMES TO LIFE WITH DAVID GILMAN
Wartime intrigues in France could spell personal disaster for Sir Thomas Blackstone. The latest gripping adventure in David Gilman's critically acclaimed Master of War series set in fourteenth-century Europe.

But this is the Hundred Years' War, and tensions are rising once more. With the Prince of Wales deeply unpopular in his Aquitainian lands, Blackstone, King Edward's Master of War, must return to French soil to help stem the tide of support for the King of France.
Meanwhile, Henry, Blackstone's son, faces an incognito ride across France with his own motley band of outlaws and mercenaries. But the French are aware of the younger Blackstone's journey, and see a perfect way to target the Master of War...
