About this audiobook
Most of the archers do not return as a result of intense fighting, but some of the former serfs and free men do return-as battle hardened veterans determined to improve their lot in cruel and brutal feudal England. This exciting novel combines action-packed historical fiction with a family saga set in an era of non-stop war and action.
The Archer's Castle is the second novel in the saga. William, his brother Thomas, and William's son George finally reach feudal England with the surviving archers and become embroiled in a war with the Earl of Cornwall that will change England forever.
