About this copy
Hastings, October 1066. Two armies. Two legendary leaders. One final, bloody battle for the jewel of England. The Normans have officially landed in Sussex, heavily armed, highly disciplined, and ready for war. Duke William’s forces have meticulously prepared for everything about the English army—except for their absolute absence. Hundreds of miles away in the north, King Harold and his loyal Anglo-Saxon fyrd are locked in brutal combat, fighting to expel a fierce Viking host. But as word spreads of the Norman invasion, the English army begins a grueling, triumphant march south—dangerous, exhausted, and spoiling for a second historic victory. Told through a sweeping cast of both warriors and ordinary people, the looming clash is seen through the eyes of those on the ground: • Gilbert: An ambitious young scout in William's invading army, determined to brave the unknown English countryside to be the first to bring his duke actionable intelligence. • Edwin: A dedicated houndsman to King Harold who missed the initial northern campaign against the Vikings, now fiercely resolved to stand alongside his king and claim his own piece of history. As the action builds toward the iconic, blood-soaked hilltop near Hastings where Harold plants his standard, a masterful story of strategy, human grit, and destiny unfolds. This is the definitive, immersive retelling of the most famous battle ever fought on British soil—and the ordinary men who changed the course of history forever.
