Wolves of Winter: The epic sequel to Essex Dogs by Dan Jones

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.
