In 'Harlequin',
Thomas of Hookton travelled to France as an archer and there
discovered a shadowy destiny, which linked him to a family of
heretical French lords who sought Christendom's greatest relic.
Having survived the battle of Crécy, Thomas is sent back to
England, charged with finding the Holy Grail. But Thomas is an
archer and when a chance comes to fight against an army invading
northern England he jumps at it. Plunged into the carnage of
Neville's Cross, he is oblivious to other enemies who want to
destroy him. He discovers too late that he is not the only
person pursuing the grail, and that his rivals will do anything
to thwart him.
After hunting and wounding him, Thomas's enemies turn him into a
fugitive. Fleeing England, he travels to Normandy, determined to
rescue Will Skeat, his old commander from Harlequin. Finally
Thomas leads his enemies back to Brittany, where he goes to
discover an old love and where his pursuers at last trap their
reluctant pilgrim.
Vagabond is a vivid and realistic portrait of England at a time
when the archer was king of Europe's battlefields.
