From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the sequel to The Archer's Tale—the spellbinding tale of 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.
In 1347, a year of conflict and unrest, Thomas of Hookton returns to England to pursue the Holy Grail. Among the flames of the Hundred Years War, a sinister enemy awaits the fabled archer and mercenary soldier: a bloodthirsty Dominican Inquisitor who also seeks Christendom's most holy relic. But neither the horrors of the battlefield nor sadistic torture at the Inquisitor's hands can turn Thomas from his sworn mission. And his thirst for vengeance will never be quenched while the villainous black rider who destroyed everything he loved still lives.
"Cornwell writes the best battle scenes of any writer I've read past or present."—George R.R. Martin

"It took a while to sort the download and transfer out (my tech knowledge), but once done great. I transferred to cd as I like to listen to books as I go to sleep, very relaxing. Very crisp and clear, but most of all I have the file so if a cd gets damaged I can easily replace. I did have Audible but did not get on with it, plus I do not have the physical file to copy, so not really mine in my view."
