'Bloody and beguiling' THE TIMES 'A salty, action-packed saga' MAIL ON SUNDAY THE GREATEST FIGHTERS HAVE EVERYTHING TO LOSE 1350 Three years on from the Siege of Calais: The Black Death has wreaked havoc in Europe. The Castilians are moving against England. The Essex Dogs are no more. In Winchelsea, the Dogs' former leader Loveday Fitztalbot struggles to keep his tavern afloat in the aftermath of the Death. Nowadays, the battles he fights are ones within his own mind. In Windsor, Romford thrives as a squire at King Edward III's court, his days as an archer for the Dogs fading into memory. But when an unpaid debt threatens everything he's built, he must call upon the lessons he learned all those years ago: be cunning. Be ruthless. Be quick. With England still reeling from the Death and the Castilian threat on the rise, the kingdom's future has never been more uncertain. Each had reasons for leaving the Essex Dogs behind. But a life like that isn't so easily forgotten. And for these men the fighting isn't over yet… 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
