Blurb
From the day he was crowned, Henry V was determined to prove the legitimacy of his house. His father's usurpation weighed heavily on his mind. Only a grand gesture would capture the respect of his own countrymen and the rest of Europe. He would follow in his great-grandfather Edward III's footsteps, and recover lost territory in France. Better yet, why not go for the crown? Poor, deranged Charles VI couldn't manage his own barons. The civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs was more of a threat to his country than the English, even after Henry laid siege to Harfleur. But once Harfleur had fallen, the French came to their senses and determined to block his path to Calais and destroy him. By the time the English reached Agincourt, they were starving, exhausted, and easy pickings. Or so the French thought. Little did they reckon on Henry's leadership and the stout-hearted English archers who proved, once again, that numbers didn't matter when God was on their side.
Review
An intriguing tale of the seemingly endless strife between England and France. The author seamlessly intertwines the historical record of Henry V with an eye-catching, pulse-racing narrative. The characters leap off the pages giving the reader the sense of being there among them. So, my fellow readers, prepare yourselves for an entertaining and informative time as you plot along with the French and English, as they once again embrace in the arms of battle. 5 Stars
