The thrilling, unmissable follow-up to Wolves of Winter by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones, following the fortunes of ordinary soldiers in the early years of the Hundred Years’ War. Three years after the Essex Dogs battled through the Siege of Calais, the Black Death has torn through Europe. Romford, basking in his new riches, now finds himself living as a squire in the glamorous court of King Edward III. Loveday, whose businesses have been destroyed by the plague, is desperate to avoid returning to the life he vowed to abandon: fighting. And Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille. Each Dog has scattered in a radically different direction. But something is about to bring them back together... Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS TRILOGY ''Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you''ve ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!'' ALICE WINN''A book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.'' CONN IGGULDEN ''This is the Hundred Years'' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian''s eye for detail.'' ELODIE HARPER''Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.'' DAILY MAIL
