About This Book

A young archer accidentally kills a rival and flees Winchester with the help of loyal craftsmen, setting off a series of medieval adventures. The narrative follows ambushes, coastal raids by French invaders, and determined local resistance by archers, passing through the sack of Southampton, an assault on a tower, and a dangerous pursuit. A father and son undertake a hazardous journey to relieve a besieged town with assistance from a resourceful surgeon, while errands, traps, and counterattacks lead to the fall of a stronghold. The tale culminates in a climactic battle, a personal confession and sacrifice, and an eventual homecoming after trials of honour and courage.
