About
Continuing the epic historical adventure series from Richard Cullen, featuring The Black Lion. Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.
For one knight, there is no rest.
Northern France, 1225AD.
Peace reigns across the kingdom. With no wars left to fight, ambitious men seek glory in the tourney–a brutal spectacle of charging horses, shattering lances, and blunted weapons that can kill as surely as sharpened steel.
And Estienne Wace wants no part of it.
After a year of honest work, he has found something he never expected: a life without the sword. But when four desperate vagabonds arrive at his door bringing a dead knight's armour, a half-mad horse, and an offer too tempting to refuse, the warrior in him awakens once again.
Soon the Black Lion rides from tourney to tourney. Crowds cheer his name. Songs are sung of his victories. Nobles court his favour, and alliances are forged. But fame is a fickle mistress. For somewhere amongst the cheering spectators and smiling lords lurks an enemy from the Black Lion's past... and whether on the tournament field or in the shadows, they will take their revenge.
