Summary
The seventh instalment of David Gilman's gripping chronicle of the Hundred Years' War, following Thomas Blackstone, Edward III's Master of War.
Winter, 1364. Sir Thomas Blackstone, Edward III's Master of War, has travelled to France to secure Brittany for England. In the throes of battle, he rescues a Castilian boy, Lazaro, who just witnessed the murder of the young queen. It is suspected that the king - along with Velasquita Alcon de Lugo, the beautiful witch who serves him - assassinated his queen. But Lazaro knows that is not the case.
With the king in hiding and the French army advancing Castile is on its knees. So Blackstone is ordered to Castile, to defend England's ally from the French.
Accompanied only by a small band of his men and a group of Moorish cavalrymen loyal to the king, Blackstone must protect Lazaro if they are to uncover the true assassin. They will face extreme danger, savage battles and a cold and bitter winter on their journey, and Blackstone will find himself the assassin's target. For the Master of War, the shadow of death is always present.

Cannot wait for the next book
Absolute page turner from start to finish. Listened to all books in the series and cannot wait for the next one to hear again from Thomas, Gilbert and the bickering between archers and men at arms.

Great book
another great book, gripping story and interesting characters. I do feel that things dropped off a little towards the end of the book, almost as if the story was a rush to be finished... Still very enjoyable, can't wait for the next installment.

Fantastic!
Thomas Blackstone, has he met his nemesis? I won’t spoil the ending for others, but it is a tremendous story. Will there be more???

Another great addition to the Blackstone saga.
It's impressive that the seventh book in the series can live up to the first. Another great romp through the middle ages with Sir Thomas Blackstone. Well researched, well written and well performed.
