Description
Pisa, May 1364.
Sir William Gold is looking forward to a lucrative career as a hired sword in the endless warring between Italy's city states. But when a message comes from the Grand Master of the Hospitaliers, William is forced to leave his dreams of fame and fortune behind him.
The Hospitaliers are gathering men for a crusade, and Sir William must join them. Yet before they set out for the holy land, the knights face deadly adversaries much closer to home...
In the twisting politics of Italy, no one can be trusted. And there are those who would be pleased to see the crusade fail...
Can Sir William and his knights survive this impossible mission into the heart of the enemy?

Praised for its vivid battle scenes and gripping storytelling, The Long Sword is recognised by the Globe and Mail for capturing the "battle haze" reminiscent of Homer. Ancient Warfare calls it a great page-turner, while the Irish Examiner highlights its engrossing mix of military logistics and political intrigue. Reviews of Christian Cameron's other works, like God of War, note the powerful depiction of battles and complex court politics, making it a sweeping and deeply moving epic according to Historical Novels Review.
