In the short few years that he has been in France since 1356, William Burton has achieved greatness well beyond his youthful expectations. He is caught up in the political and social upheaval of Northern France and is quickly taking his place among the noblemen of his times. He has put together the elements of success, both military and financial. It is the Year of Our Lord, 1358.
But his real destiny would be forcefully revealed in his reconnection with his brother, Thomas Burton, called The Arrowsmith. This is the story of their partnership and what it meant to the military and political world of Normandy, France. It is a story of genius, tenacity and grit.
The Burton Story is told in volume one of this series: "The Archer's Revenge." A second volume describes Will Burton's rise as a military force in: "Striker King, Warhorse." The third volume, "Archer and Arrowsmith," extends the saga to include Will's brother Tom, called the Arrowsmith. This fourth volume, "The Archer's Lightning Arrows," chronicles their adventures as they gain the attention of Edward III the king of England.
