THE ARCHER OF AGINCOURT
THE ARCHER OF AGINCOURT is a gripping historical fiction novel set in France in 1415, during one of the most famous battles of the Middle Ages-the Battle of Agincourt.
Thomas Hale is an English longbowman from Kent who never expected to become part of history. Summoned to King Henry V's army, Thomas leaves behind his mother and younger sister and crosses the Channel with thousands of soldiers bound for France.
But war is not what he imagined.
After the siege of Harfleur, Thomas and his fellow archers-his loyal friend William Reed and the young, inexperienced Hugh Fletcher-begin the brutal march through France. Hunger, disease, exhaustion, and enemy attacks threaten them at every turn.
Then Thomas discovers something far more dangerous than the French army.
A dying messenger gives him a mysterious parchment bearing a terrifying warning:
"The traitor walks among you."
Thomas begins investigating a powerful English nobleman whose secret correspondence may reveal a conspiracy against King Henry V. But every answer leads to another question. Who is betraying the English army? Who is secretly communicating with the French? And how far does the conspiracy reach?
As the English army approaches Agincourt, Thomas finds himself caught between loyalty and survival, honor and ambition, friendship and betrayal.
Outnumbered and exhausted, the English prepare to face a French army many times their size.
Then the battle begins.
Through rain and mud, beneath a sky filled with arrows, Thomas must use his longbow, courage, and instincts to survive the bloodiest day of his life. But even as the English fight for survival, the betrayal within their own ranks threatens to destroy them from behind.
THE ARCHER OF AGINCOURT is a cinematic medieval adventure filled with historical intrigue, battlefield action, political conspiracy, friendship, survival, and emotional drama.
