After the fierce battle of Crecy, not all the Essex Hounds survived. Some gave their lives to God, some disappeared without a trace. But King Edward leads the army further, to Calais, which, by his order, must be captured, no matter what the English soldiers have to do for this. So the Essex Hounds find themselves under the walls of the French city, where a cruel, protracted siege is unfolding. A siege that will last eleven months. How many of Loveday's people will survive the winter? And will the captain manage to save his pack when the men begin to separate and each is mired in his own thoughts and anxieties?
In this powerful sequel, the brave Essex Hounds appear before readers as vulnerable people who have so far stood on the side of the war, but now not even on each other's side. Not for the first time, they do not understand why they are fighting the enemy and what awaits them ahead. The Hundred Years' War continues...
