Overview:
From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author Scott Mariani comes a bold new historical adventure series starring Will Bowman. This two-book collection gathers The Pilgrim's Revenge and The Knight's Pledge, the opening installments in the Will Bowman historical adventures. Set against the brutal backdrop of medieval Europe and the Crusades, these novels fuse propulsive plotting with lush period texture. Will Bowman begins as a humble countryside farmer whose life is ripped apart when Richard the Lionheart’s army swoops through his world. A vow of vengeance drives him to infiltrate the king’s forces, launching him on a perilous journey across war-torn landscapes as the Crusade unfolds around him. In The Knight's Pledge, Will travels deeper into the Holy Land, earning the king’s trust while facing a deadly sea battle and the feared Byzantine weapon, Greek Fire. Acre’s siege tightens, and Will must decide who he truly fights for. This gift-ready collection delivers cinematic action, immersive history, and a gripping, character-driven arc from Europe to the Holy Land.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This is more than two historical adventures stitched together; it’s a single, cohesive journey that tracks Will Bowman’s transformation from rural husband to knight-in-training amid one of history’s most brutal campaigns. Mariani balances pace with meticulous period detail—from village life and farmstead rhythms to epic sea battles and siege warfare—creating a vivid sense of place and peril. The two novels complement each other beautifully: the first grounds motive and stakes, while the second deepens loyalties, political intrigue, and the costs of allegiance. Fans of immersive history, brisk plotting, and morally complex protagonists will relish this complete, gift-ready collection that feels both cinematic and intimate.
Books Included in This Collection:
The Pilgrim's Revenge
Will Bowman, a rural man at the threshold of a family future, is forced into a perilous mission when marauders strike his homeland. In a bold bid for justice, he infiltrates Richard the Lionheart’s forces, navigating shifting loyalties and brutal confrontations across a continent at war. The Pilgrim's Revenge blends personal grief with sweeping historical scope, delivering edge-of-seat suspense and a powerful sense of moral resolve as Will’s vow becomes a dangerous drive toward vengeance and truth.
The Knight's Pledge
Now in the Holy Land, Will earns the king’s trust while facing new dangers and political intrigue. A dramatic sea clash introduces the infamous Byzantine weapon, Greek Fire, testing Will’s courage and ingenuity. As the siege of Acre tightens, Will confronts choices that will redefine his loyalties and shape his evolving role within this vast crusading world. The Knight's Pledge heightens the tension with tactical battles, treacherous actors in the shadows, and a coming-of-age arc that asks what a man is willing to sacrifice for those he serves.
