Summary
The seventh instalment of David Gilman's gripping chronicle of the Hundred Years' War, following Thomas Blackstone, Edward III's Master of War.
Winter, 1364. Sir Thomas Blackstone, Edward III's Master of War, has travelled to France to secure Brittany for England. In the throes of battle, he rescues a Castilian boy, Lazaro, who just witnessed the murder of the young queen. It is suspected that the king - along with Velasquita Alcon de Lugo, the beautiful witch who serves him - assassinated his queen. But Lazaro knows that is not the case.
With the king in hiding and the French army advancing Castile is on its knees. So Blackstone is ordered to Castile, to defend England's ally from the French.
Accompanied only by a small band of his men and a group of Moorish cavalrymen loyal to the king, Blackstone must protect Lazaro if they are to uncover the true assassin. They will face extreme danger, savage battles and a cold and bitter winter on their journey, and Blackstone will find himself the assassin's target. For the Master of War, the shadow of death is always present.

Great story, consistency in narration needed
Love the stories and everything that goes with it - other reviews do this more justice than I do!
However, as I’ve binged this series on audible, the same narrator (Colin mace) switches his style between books. The most evident example being will longden- in some books he’s welsh and others he English? It’s quite jarring!! And sir Gilbert is either a bit of a dandy (2 books previous) or a gritty dandy…
They don’t really detract from the stories, especially if you don’t do the books back to back, but it did take me about a good 1/3 of this book to get through and accept these changes to the characters.

Highly recommended
The latest installment of the Master of War series. The superb narration by Colin Mace brings each character to life, like old friends, and David Gilman's creativity and ability to provide depth, intense detail, intrigue and drama to this fascinating period of history results in yet another thrilling and enjoyable listen.

An excellent finish to a decent series
A solid ending to an epic romp through history. Some of the characters became a little bit two dimensional and comical but there was no harm done.
Bravo Mr Gilman, Bravo
