"The most prolific and successful historical novelist in the
world today" (Wall Street Journal) delivers another thrilling
page-turner in this tale of peril and conquest at the Battle of
Poitiers.
September 1356, France: The English army--led by the heir to the
throne, the Black Prince--is set to invade, while the French, along
with their Scottish allies, are ready to hunt their enemy down. But
what if there was a weapon that could decide the outcome of the
war?
Thomas of Hookton, known as le Batard, has orders to uncover the
lost sword of Saint Peter, a blade with mystical powers said to
grant certain victory to whoever possesses her. The French seek the
weapon, too, and so Thomas's quest will be thwarted at every turn
by battle and betrayal, by promises made and oaths broken.
Rich with colorful characters, great adventure, and vivid battle
scenes, 1356 tells a magnificent story of the quest for a holy
relic with the power to change history--a quest that culminates in
an epic and unforgettable struggle.
