****A _Kirkus Reviews_ Best Book of 2023****

The _New York Times_ bestselling historian makes his historical fiction debut with an explosive novel set during the Hundred Years' War.

**July 1346.** Ten men land on the beaches of Normandy. They call themselves the Essex Dogs: an unruly platoon of archers and men-at-arms led by a battle-scarred captain whose best days are behind him. The fight for the throne of the largest kingdom in Western Europe has begun.

Heading ever deeper into enemy territory toward Crécy, this band of brothers knows they are off to fight a battle that will forge nations, and shape the very fabric of human lives. But first they must survive a bloody war in which rules are abandoned and chivalry itself is slaughtered.

Rooted in historical accuracy and told through an unforgettable cast, _Essex Dogs_ delivers the stark reality of medieval war on the ground - and shines a light on the fighters and ordinary people caught in the storm.
