The spellbinding sequel to The Archer’s Tale—a thrilling story of a fearless young archer who sets out to avenge his family’s honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail
A sharp, skilled, and utterly fearless archer in the army of King Edward III, young Thomas of Hookton goes into battle against both the French and the Scots—and experiences for the first time the high drama of naval warfare. But being a soldier in the great Hundred Years War is only a means to an end: the ultimate target of Thomas’s wrath is the man who brutally slaughtered his father and stole a cherished relic from the ancient church of Hookton. Vagabond is the second book in internationally bestselling author Bernard Cornwell’s remarkable new series about the Holy Grail.
