THEYRE TOLD TO FIGHT FOR THEIR KING.
BUT IN BATTLE, THEY FIGHT FOR THEIR BROTHERS.
Three years after the Essex Dogs battled through the Siege of Calais, the Black Death has torn through Europe.
Romford, basking in his new riches, now finds himself living as a squire in the glamorous court of King Edward III. Loveday, whose businesses have been destroyed by the plague, is desperate to avoid returning to the life he vowed to abandon: fighting. And Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille.
Each Dog has scattered in a radically different direction. Something explosive is about to pull them back together...
The thrilling, unmissable conclusion to the Essex Dogs trilogy by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones.
Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS trilogy
'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN
'Dan Jones' fiction rings with the authority of his scholarly history.' PHILIPPA GREGORY
'A book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.' CONN IGGULDEN
'This is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian's eye for detail.' ELODIE HARPER
'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' DAILY MAIL
