And abruptly the destiny of England—and the span of history—depended upon one guy, one master. From Ny Times-Bestselling storyteller Bernard Cornwell comes a stirring epic journey of bravery, fight, responsibility, commitment, majesty, love, and treachery as seen through the eyes of the young soldier who straddled two sides.
