Book Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the first book in the Grail Series—the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail.

A brutal raid on the quiet coastal English village of Hookton in 1342 leaves but one survivor: a young archer named Thomas. On this terrible dawn, his purpose becomes clear—to recover a stolen sacred relic and pursue to the ends of the earth the murderous black-clad knight bearing a blue-and-yellow standard, a journey that leads him to the courageous rescue of a beautiful French woman, and sets him on his ultimate quest: the search for the Holy Grail.

    Great read, if a little over detailed. Requires quite a bit of patience to wade through all that is going on, but worth it in the end.

    Seriously fantastic book, could not stop reading. I was never a big fan of battle scenes, but Cornwell has a way of describing battles that makes them fascinating.
