Nobody does bloody historical fiction quite like Bernard
Cornwell! ‘1356’, part of his Grail Quest series, is set in France during the
Hundred Years War between the French and the invading English army. An English
archer, known as Le Batard, has been tasked with finding a lost holy relic that
is said to grant certain victory to whoever possesses it. But as the French
close in on the outnumbered English army, Le Batard, his archers and his sworn
enemies “meet in an extraordinary confrontation that ignites one of the
greatest battles of all time.” Filled with historical detail and plenty of gory
battle details, this novel is sure to make readers into fans of this master
storyteller.
