'A gripping chronicle of pitched battle, treachery and cruelty' Robert Fabbri
Tuscany, 1358: Thomas Blackstone has built a formidable reputation in exile, fighting as a mercenary amid the ceaseless internecine warring of Italy's City States. But success has bred many enemies, and when a dying man delivers a message recalling him to England, it seems almost certain to be a trap. Yet Blackstone cannot disobey – the summons is at the Queen's demand.

And every step of the way, he will be shadowed by a notorious assassin with orders to despatch him to Hell.
