'Heart-pounding action' THE TIMES. \n Winter, 1361. \n\nAfter two decades of conflict, Edward III has finally agreed a treaty with the captive French King, John II. In return for his freedom, John has ceded vast tracts of territory to the English. But for five long years mercenary bands and belligerent lords have fought over the carcass of his kingdom. They will not give up their hard-won spoils to honour a defeated king's promises. \n\nIf the English want their prize, they'll have to fight for it... Thomas Blackstone will have to fight for it. \n\nAs he battles to enforce Edward's claim, Thomas Blackstone will see his name blackened, his men slaughtered, his family hunted. He will be betrayed and, once again, he'll face the might of the French army on the field. But this time there will be no English army at his back. He'll face the French alone.

WINTER, 1362 \nAfter decades of successful campaigning in France, Thomas Blackstone, once a common archer, has risen to become Edward III's Master of War.\n\nBut the title is as much a curse as a blessing. Success has brought few rewards: his family – bar his son Henry – is dead, slaughtered; his enemies only multiply. Death, in so many guises, beckons.\n\nAs he battles to enforce his King's claim to French territory, Blackstone will assault an impregnable fortress, he'll become embroiled in a feud between French aristocrats, he'll be forced into pitched battle in the dead of winter... and he'll be asked to pay an impossible price to protect something much more precious to the King than mere land.\n\nAll the while, out of the east, a group of trained killers, burning with vengeance, draw ever closer.\nPraise for David Gilman: \n'The level of suspense is ratcheted up to a truly brutal level' SHARON PENMAN\n\n'A gripping ride' WILBUR SMITH\n\n'Gilman does heart pounding action superlatively' THE TIMES\n\n'Like a punch from a mailed fist, Master of War is a gripping chronicle of pitched battle, treachery and cruelty' ROBERT FABBRI

He finds himself in the midst of deadly conspiracy, and on a journey to a fatal confrontation deep in the Honduran rainforest.\n\nReviewers on Betrayal:\n\n'Well plotted, believable, and Gilman's ace at bringing locations to life.'

Winter, 1364.\nThe King is dead.\n\nDefeated on the field of Poitiers, Jean Le Bon, King of France, honoured his treaty with England until his death. His son and heir, Charles V, has no intention of doing the same. War is coming and the predators are circling.\n\nSir Thomas Blackstone, Edward III's Master of War, has been tasked with securing Brittany for England. In the throes of battle, he rescues a young boy, sole witness to the final living breaths of the Queen of Castile. The secret the boy carries is a spark deadly enough to ignite conflict on a new front - a front the English cannot afford to fight on.\n\nSo Blackstone is ordered south to Castile, across the mountains to shepherd Don Pedro, King of Castile, to safety. Accompanied only by a small detachment of his men and a band of Moorish cavalrymen loyal to the king, every step takes Blackstone further into uncertain territory, deeper into an unyielding snare.\n\nFor the Master of War, the shadow of death is always present.\nPraise for David Gilman:\n'The level of suspense is ratcheted up to a truly brutal level' SHARON PENMAN\n\n'A gripping ride' WILBUR SMITH\n\n'Gilman does heart pounding action superlatively' THE TIMES\n\n'Like a punch from a mailed fist, Master of War is a gripping chronicle of pitched battle, treachery and cruelty' ROBERT FABBRI

So why has unlikely spy Harry Mitchell volunteered to return to the city he fled two years ago? \n\nThe French capital is at war with itself.
