WOLVES OF WINTER - DAN JONES KARTONIERT (TB)

For the Dogs  the war has only just begun.  Caught up in the siege of Calais  in the midst a
brutal eleven-month blockade of a small port on the French coast  they are no longer blindly
walking into the unknown. But the men still have more questions than answers about what faces
them - and why.   What are they really fighting for? And why does the king care so much about
taking such a small French town? The Dogs aren't paid to ask questions but in their work  they
have the means to make people talk.  Soon  their journey will reveal who really wants this war
to last for a hundred years. And as the battle rages  they hear the first  faint  chesty rattle
of a natural disaster that is sweeping towards the Dogs and their world . . .  Spanning the
siege city built outside Calais' walls  to the pirate ships patrolling the harbour  and into
the dark corners of oligarchs' houses  where the deals that shape - and end - lives are made 
this captivating and brutal story brings the 1300s effortlessly to life. About money  merchants
and the medieval ?deep state'  this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn
Iggulden.  Praise for Essex Dogs:  'A new champion has entered the front line of historical
fiction to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bernard Cornwell.' Jane Johnson  'Battle-bloody 
brutal and perfectly pitched.' Daily Mail  'A busy  urgent little masterpiece.' Graham Hurley 
'With a cast of unforgettable characters  written with irrepressible verve and historical
accuracy  Dan Jones delivers a compelling novel that thrums with swordswinging energy.' Simon
Sebag Montefiore
