About This Book
A vivid historical adventure set in the medieval wars, following a young protagonist whose path moves from rural hardship and city tournaments to siege warfare, naval engagements, and decisive battles at Cressy and Poitiers. The narrative proceeds episodically through sieges, the capture of towns, outbreaks of plague, and popular revolts, combining action-driven battle scenes with depictions of daily life, loyalty, and personal growth. Themes of chivalry, courage, discipline, and the personal costs of conflict are developed through encounters with comrades, enemies, and civilian suffering, concluding in mixed outcomes of victory and loss.
