With the ink still drying on the Treaty of Bretigny an agreement most believed to be nothing more than a stalemate between King Edward III of England and John II of France the country is left riddled with both English and French armies - exhausted adrift and directionless. An atmosphere ripe for rebellion. Berenger Fripper returns to the only life he truly understands among the troops of Hawkwood?s company. But danger and treachery lurk around every abandoned French farm or village. When the company comes across the promise of riches hidden in a monastery the motley crew finally feel as though their luck is changing?
