From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the first book in the Grail Series—a spellbinding tale of historical fiction about a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family’s honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail.
A brutal raid on the quiet coastal English village of Hookton in 1342 launches an action-packed medieval adventure and leaves but one survivor: a young archer named Thomas. On this terrible dawn, his purpose becomes clear—to recover a stolen sacred relic and pursue to the ends of the earth the murderous black-clad knight bearing a blue-and-yellow standard, a journey that leads him to the courageous rescue of a beautiful French woman, and sets him on his ultimate quest: the search for the Holy Grail.
