In this vast, sweeping epic set in the aftermath of the Norman Invasion, a rogue Frank knight named Vallon accepts a dangerous commission: He must travel Europe in search of six rare hawks to be bartered for the life of an English prince held captive in Constantinople. Accompanied by an English falconer and a Sicilian scholar, Vallon sets out in search of the birds; the quest ranges from Greenland to Iceland to the Continent to Byzantium, as the men cross raging seas, march into furious battles, and raid opulent castles. At more than 200,000 words, this is one of the most vast, utterly thrilling historical adventures ever written.
