Wolves of Winter

'A convincing picture of hard men in a hard time, Dan Jones' fiction rings with the authority of his scholarly history.' PHILIPPA GREGORY
'Absolutely fabulous. A raucous, swaggering charge through the medieval underworld. I had such a good time reading it that I never wanted it to stop.' ANTONIA FRASER
'Superb historical fiction as fresh, vivid and vital as this morning's headlines... proves once again that nothing really changes, be it a soldier's life - or great storytelling.' LEE CHILD

AN ENDLESS WAR.
A BLOOD-SOAKED BATTLEFIELD.
A BAND OF BROTHERS.

1347. After a bloody battle at Crécy, the Essex Dogs pick through the wreckage of the fighting - and their own lives.

Now the Dogs are sent to attack the soaring walls of Calais where a new siege is beginning. To get home, they must survive in a lawless camp that is deadlier than any battlefield.

Obsessed with finding the Captain, Loveday is losing control of his men. Romford is haunted by a horrific figure from his past. And Scotsman is spiralling into a pit of drink, violence and self-pity.

The Dogs are being torn apart - but this war is far from over. It won't be long before they lose more of their own.

From a vast siege camp built outside Calais' walls, to pirate ships patrolling the harbour, and finally into the darkest corners of oligarchs' houses inside a starving city, this captivating and darkly comic story brings the fourteenth century vividly to life. A searing tale about merchants, money and the medieval 'deep state', this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN

'Recalls Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall novels with its masterly control, period details, and understated humor.' KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW
