Clouds of steel-tipped Death rain down from the skies!It’s the Year of Our Lord 1296 and King Edward Longshanks of England is waging war against the rebellious Scots. Longshanks has the largest army in Christendom, but he lacks one thing--- archers. Men who have trained since childhood to bend the infamous English longbow and send their yard long shafts tipped with steel bodkins through chain, scale and plate armor. To recruit such highly skilled men Longshanks offers the promise of money, land and a pardon for all earlier crimes against the crown.Archer Hugh Blackthorn, living in the forest as an outlaw, takes the king’s pardon and marches northward with Longshanks’ army. There Hugh meets Molly O’Grady, the love of his life; Sir Owen Wren, a Welsh knight who swears that one of them must die; comes face to face with the outlaw William Wallace and befriends the future king of Scotland, Robert the Bruce.Step back in time nearly a thousand years to an age when wars were fought face to face with bared steel in hand and a ’long shot’ came not from a sniper’s rifle, but from an equally skilled soldier using an English longbow.
