Description
1367: Europe stands on the brink of total war. Political alliances are beginning to rupture, and no state is safe: England, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Milan, Genoa, Venice, Constantinople... Every mercenary knight must sharpen his sword and prepare for battle. But Sir William Gold has other problems. Just to reach Europe, he must capture its most unassailable fortress. He must also protect his liege lord, the Green Count, from assassins hell-bent on his death. The balance of power in the West will change. William Gold must trust in hope, and his men, that he will land on the winning side...
Sharpen your sword and prepare for battle...
