This is the bargain-priced first book to introduce readers to Martin Archer's action-packed saga of the Company of Archers at the dawn of Britain's rise to military supremacy and the beginning of its great merchant companies.

This is the first book of the many books in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers. It is an enjoyable and sometimes witty read that sticks pins into the church and nobility along the way.The on-going saga of the Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty medieval England during a time when there was great upheaval in Britain as the barons rose against the king, the Saracens were lashing out against the Christians for breaking a truce, and Islamic pirates from the Barbary Coast were fighting for control of the Mediterranean. This is British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best. It will appeal to the fans who enjoy action-packed stories about medieval times.
