It was the time when the English came across the Channel to take the battle to the French. The army was led by the King, and the great lords and knights, but it was the archers, the common men, who are to be England's secret weapon.

Thomas of Hookton is one of those archers. But he is also on a personal mission - one he frequently forgets in the joy of fighting - to avenge his father's killing by a french raider and to retrieve his family's treasure. But the journey is far more complex and treacherous than he had expected, and the enemy who awaits him could harness the power of Christendom's greatest relic, the Grail itself.

The first book in the Grail Quest series ends in the great battle of Crécy, the beginning of what became known as the Hundred Years' War.

Como eu demorei tanto tempo para ler um dos livros mais famosos de um dos meu autores favoritos. Adorei Thomas of Hookton, não tanto quanto eu amei Derfel Cadarn das Cronicas de Arthur, mas é mais um grande livro do grande Bernard Cornwell
