Description
Don't miss Lion Hearts, the final heart-stopping novel in the Essex Dogs trilogy from bestselling historian Dan Jones - available to pre-order now.
'Draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best.' Conn Iggulden
Some men fight for glory.
Others fight for coin.
The Essex Dogs fight for each other.
July 1346. The Hundred Years’ War begins, and King Edward and his lords are on the march through France. But this war belongs to the men on the ground. Swept up in the chaos, a tight-knit company from Essex must stay alive long enough to see their home again.
There’s Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps. Scotsman, strong enough to tear down a wall. Father, a priest turned devilish by the horrors of war. Romford, a talented young archer on the run from his past. And Loveday, their battle-scarred captain, who watches over them all.
With sword, axe and longbow, the Dogs must survive from the landing beaches of Normandy to the perilous field of Crécy. But this war is a bloody one – and it’s only just begun...
