Essex Dogs

'The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best.' CONN IGGULDEN This is the story of the Hundred Years’ War told through the eyes of the soldiers on the ground. Witness medieval England brought thrillingly to life by a master storyteller and Sunday Times bestselling historian. SOME MEN FIGHT FOR GLORY. OTHERS FIGHT FOR COIN. THE ESSEX DOGS FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER. July 1346. King Edward and his lords are on the march through France. Swept up in the chaos, a tight-knit company from Essex must stay alive long enough to see their home again. There’s Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps. Scotsman, strong enough to tear down a wall. Father, a priest turned devilish by the horrors he has witnessed. Romford, a talented young archer on the run from his past. And Loveday, their battle-scarred captain, who watches over them all. With sword, axe and longbow, the Dogs must survive from the landing beaches of Normandy to the perilous field of Crécy. But this war is a bloody one – and it’s only just begun...
