Hero of the Hundred Years War, Martin Kemp, is back... and this time he's playing with fire
The Count of Targères has seized control of Cazoulat. Determined to stamp his authority on the district, he is playing divide and rule, convincing the townsfolk that only he can crush the heretics in their midst.
Medieval archer Martin Kemp arrives on the Gascon frontier, where bands of brigands are pillaging undefended towns. Kemp is determined to win back control of the band of mercenaries he once captained, the Company of the Dragon - but with them now in the pocket of the Count, he faces an impossible task.
Kemp soon finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with Targères, that puts everything - his fortune, his life, perhaps even his soul - at risk.
An absolutely compelling historical military adventure, perfect for readers of Bernard Cornwell and Matthew Harffy.
