BOOK 1: LORD EDWARD’S ARCHER
Welsh border, 13th century. In a realm brimming with fierce determination and relentless ambition, young Gruffyd and his father are employed by a castle on the dangerous borderlands. When his lord commits a grievous act, Gruffyd is confronted with a life-altering decision. His choices will lead him from avenging outlaw to merchant’s bodyguard to, finally, the captain of archers for the heir to the throne.
BOOK 2: KING IN WAITING
England, 1264. Simon de Montfort defeats and captures King Henry III of England at the Battle of Lewes to become de facto ruler of the country. Step forward Gruffyd, now known as Gerald War Bow, a superb archer and a committed servant of Lord Edward – the real heir to King Henry’s throne. As the royalists face de Montfort’s army, Gerald knows that the future of his country – and his own life – lie in the balance.
BOOK 3: AN ARCHER’S CRUSADE
As the battle of Evesham fades, Gerald War Bow claims a manor. But an archer’s duty knows no respite. Lord Edward relentlessly pursues Simon de Montfort’s remnants, extinguishing rebels up and down the country. But the rebel leaders resist capture. Enter Pope Adrian V, stepping forward to aid Lord Edward’s cause. In exchange for his help, Gerald pledges to join the Crusades with King Louis IX of France. Can Gerald and his men survive unscathed, and will his efforts help to turn the war?
BOOK 4: TARGETS OF TREACHERY
Captain Gerald has proven himself an unrivalled archer. Now married, Gerald looks forward to raising a family and tending his land. But life on the borderlands comes with complications, and Kind Edward has different ideas for Gerald. Chosen as royal envoy, Gerald must cross the treacherous Welsh Marches to make strategic allegiances and request Prince Llywelyn bend the knee to the English crown. Can he help wrest power back into English hands before Welsh forces descend on all he holds dear?
BOOK 5: THE GREAT CAUSE
Gerald has devoted his life to the service of King Edward. As he prepares to pass the torch to his eldest son, he’s once again called into action. The mysterious death of King Alexander of Scotland, and subsequent questions of succession, have plunged the nation into turmoil. In Wales, trouble still abounds. And as discontent threatens to spill over on several fronts, Gerald must assemble his team and once again fight in the name of King Edward.
