In war, some fight for glory; others, for money. The Essex Hounds? They fight for each other.
Fast forward to July 1346, when the so-called Hounds of Essex land on the beaches of Normandy. They are a platoon of archers and men-at-arms led by a captain whose best days are behind them. As they push deeper into enemy territory towards Crécy, this band of brothers knows they are in for a battle that will forge nations. Comrades in arms in the epic maelstrom of the Hundred Years’ War and swept up in the bloody chaos, these men must stay alive long enough to return home.
WHO ARE THE ESSEX DOGS?
– Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps.
– The Scotsman, strong enough to knock down a wall.
– Millstone, a stonemason who will do anything to protect his men.
– Father, a priest turned into a demon by the horrors of war.
– Romford, a talented young archer running away from his past.
– Loveday FitzTalbot, the battle-hardened veteran captain who just wants his boys to return home safe and sound.
