"The greatest writer of historical adventures today" ("Washington Post") tackles his richest, most thrilling subject yet--the heroic tale of Agincourt. A commoner, a king, and a nation's entire army embark on a mission to test the will of God and reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

New York Times Bestseller

Bernard Cornwell, the New York Times bestselling "reigning king of historical fiction" (USA Today), tackles his most thrilling, rich, and enthralling subject yet--the heroic tale of Agincourt. The epic battle immortalized by William Shakespeare in his classic Henry V is the background for this breathtaking tale of heroism, love, devotion, and duty from the legendary author of the Richard Sharpe novels and the Saxon Tales. This extraordinary adventure will captivate from page one, proving once again and most powerfully, as author Lee Child attests, that "nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell."
