Sir John Hawkwood may be getting old but he is still as wily as a fox. Feared and revered in equal measure, one of the greatest military leaders the world has ever known is drawn once again into a territorial dispute, beginning at the Florentine borderlands. Leading a coalition of city-states, he strikes deep into the nest of Milanese vipers and their allies. Using the skills honed over a long and illustrious career, the English mercenary takes the war to the very gates of Milan, cementing his legacy as ‘Giovanni Acuto’ – supreme condottiero.
The bittersweet final instalment in the engaging tale of Sir John Hawkwood; the English Mercenary who became an Italian legend. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, David Gilman and Ben Kane.
Legacy is out now. It is the last book in my Sir John Hawkwood series and I know a lot of readers are going to be very disappointed by that, but I have tried to be realistic with the storyline and I have followed exactly what he did. So, after the last book in which he won his famous battle in Northern Italy, I knew I had to carry on to the end. I have loved every minute of writing this series and Sir John Hawkwood was such an interesting character to write about. I hope I have done him justice. He was a remarkable man. So, I hope you enjoy the book if you get it.
