For the Dogs, the war has only just begun. Caught in the siege of Calais during an eleven-month blockade, the men are no longer blindly facing the unknown. They grapple with questions about their purpose and the king's obsession with this small French town. Though not paid to question their orders, they possess the means to extract information from others. Their journey will uncover who truly benefits from a war that seems destined to last a century. As battles rage, they sense an impending natural disaster looming over them. The narrative spans the siege city outside Calais, pirate ships in the harbor, and the shadowy dealings within the homes of powerful oligarchs, where pivotal decisions are made. This gripping and brutal tale vividly brings the 1300s to life, exploring themes of money, merchants, and the medieval 'deep state.' It is essential reading for fans of historical fiction. Praise for the work includes descriptions of its "oddly joyous" nature, fast-paced action, and comparisons to the best of Bernard Cornwell. Critics highlight its "testosterone-fueled, blood-soaked" narrative and commend its unforgettable characters and vibrant writing style. This captivating story promises to engage readers with its rich historical detail and compelling plot.
