The Archers is the first book of an exciting saga of action and adventure set in medieval England. In this compelling tale, an Englishman rises to become the captain of a company of archers and leads its survivors back to England from King Richard's crusade. Not all of the archers return as a result of intense fighting, but some of the former serfs and free men do return-as hardened veterans determined to improve their lot in cruel and brutal medieval England. This novel combines military historical fiction with a family saga.
