'Unputdownable ... I was blown away' Angus Donald, bestselling
author of the Outlaw ChroniclesTwo kings. Two nations. One crown.
The start of an epic historical espionage series by master authors
A.J. Mackenzie.1328. After years of civil unrest between England
and France, Charles IV dies, leaving no apparent heir. His closest
heir to the throne is Edward III of England, but it passes instead
to Charles' cousin, Phillip, spurring both countries on to war.
1346. Landing at Normandy, Edward's immense army makes inroads into
French territory, burning everything in their path. But the
mysterious assassination of an English knight reveals a terrible
truth: there is a traitor in their midst. The king charges Simon
Merrivale, the Prince of Wales' herald, with solving the case. As
the army marches on towards its destiny, at the awesome scenes of
the Battle of Crecy, Simon will uncover a conspiracy that goes to
the heart of the warring nations. Among the ashes and the rubble,
their fate will be decided: on the battlefield... and in the
shadows. A scintillating medieval adventure of warfare and
espionage, steeped in years of research, perfect for fans of David
Gilman and Conn Iggulden. Praise for A Flight of Arrows Like one of
those exquisite tapestries with interlacing strands in an array of
vivid colour [...] a truly enthralling account of the events
leading up to Crecy. Compulsory reading for all who enjoy that most
fascinating period of English history' Paul Doherty, author of The
Nightingale Gallery 'Fast-paced, action-packed and full of
adventure [...] one of the best reads this year' Parmenion Books 'A
rip-roaring story and devilish plot with outstanding historical
detail [...] Mackenzie has created a character who will surely take
his place in the canon of historical literary detectives' C. B.
Hanley, author of the Mediaeval Mysteries series 'Espionage,
treachery and long-buried sins come to the fore in the
blood-stained fields of fourteenth-century Normandy. A compelling
story of courage and betrayal - I loved it' Katherine Stansfield,
author of the Cornish Mystery series
