The Archer's Tale : Book One of the Grail Quest

The Archer's Tale
Author(s): Bernard Cornwell

From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the first book in the Grail Series—the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail.

A brutal raid on the quiet coastal English village of Hookton in 1342 leaves but one survivor: a young archer named Thomas. On this terrible dawn, his purpose becomes clear—to recover a stolen sacred relic and pursue to the ends of the earth the murderous black-clad knight bearing a blue-and-yellow standard, a journey that leads him to the courageous rescue of a beautiful French woman, and sets him on his ultimate quest: the search for the Holy Grail.

Review(s):
“Another top effort from one of today’s truly great storytellers.”
“Perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today.”
“The direct heir to Patrick O’Brian.”
