Books Included in This Collection:
Vagabond
Vagabond continues Thomas’s odyssey after the Battle of Crecy, propelling him across England and into Brittany as rivalries tighten and the Grail’s pull grows stronger. Cornwell threads relentless pace with battlefield realism, presenting a hero torn between fidelity and ambition while the relic’s mystery deepens. The narrative blends high-stakes combat with tempered introspection, inviting readers to weigh loyalty, love, and the lure of power as the search intensifies.

Harlequin
Harlequin introduces the core premise: Thomas’s vow to recover the Grail drives him into a perilous, war-torn realm where faith and ambition collide. The opening volume blends swift action with character-driven choices, as longbow battles unfold on sodden fields and political intrigues shadow every move. The Grail’s reach proves arresting—its power promises salvation and peril in equal measure—pulling Thomas into a world where friends become foes and every decision echoes across the ages.

Heretic
Heretic picks up the pace in 1347, with Calais seized and the Grail quest pulling Thomas toward Gascony. Now a raider, he leads his archers through savage forays that sharpen his wits and test his nerve. Yet fortune turns against him as church politics threaten his campaign, forcing him to fight not only armies but circumstance itself. Alongside a girl condemned as a heretic, Thomas confronts a bleak landscape where trust is scarce and every arrow could seal a fate.
