Description

The Harlequin by Bernard Cornwell In 14th-century France, the English archers known as Harlequins wreak havoc on the countryside. Thomas of Hookton, one of these skilled bowmen, escapes his village after it is sacked by French raiders. Haunted by his conscience and driven by a promise to God, he sets out to retrieve a stolen relic from his church. His quest leads him into a world where allegiances are tested and enemies become friends. As Thomas navigates the treacherous landscape of war-torn France, he faces a formidable enemy who seeks to harness the power of Christendom's greatest relic - the Holy Grail. The stage is set for a climactic confrontation on a hillside near Crecy. This gripping tale marks the beginning of a new series by Bernard Cornwell, masterful storyteller and historian.
