Description

'Bloody and beguiling' THE TIMES
'A salty, action-packed saga' MAIL ON SUNDAY

A COUNTRY ON THE BRINK

1350. England reels in the aftermath of the Black Death. Towns emptied, families shattered, a kingdom weakened, and yet still, worse is to come.

AN ALLY TURNED FOE
After a failed alliance, the Castilians grow ever bolder in their threats against the Crown, mounting attacks onto English shores and even stealing people away.

A FINAL CRUSADE
Loveday FitzTalbot has survived a lifetime of battles, but never an enemy this elusive. When his newfound family is threatened, he is forced into dangerous work for a man whose loyalties shift like the tide.

This unknowingly leads him to a long-awaited reunion, a battle unlike any he has faced before and a final farewell that will change everything…

See medieval England brought thrillingly to life by Sunday Times bestselling historian Dan Jones in this epic, action-packed adventure that can be read as part of the Essex Dogs series or as a standalone.

Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS

'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN
'Dan Jones' fiction rings with the authority of his scholarly history.' PHILIPPA GREGORY
'A book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.' CONN IGGULDEN
'This is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian's eye for detail.' ELODIE HARPER
'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' DAILY MAIL
