''Unputdownable ... I was blown away'' Angus Donald, bestselling author of the Outlaw ChroniclesTwo kings. Two nations. One crown. The start of an epic historical espionage series by master authors A.J. Mackenzie.
1328. After years of civil unrest between England and France, Charles IV dies, leaving no apparent heir. His closest heir to the throne is Edward III of England, but it passes instead to Charles'' cousin, Phillip, spurring both countries on to war.
1346. Landing at Normandy, Edward''s immense army makes inroads into French territory, burning everything in their path.
