Broken Arrow - Lord Edward's Archer Book 10

Loyal until the end. In the frostbitten dawn of 14th-century England, when loyalty is as fleeting as the winter sun, one man stands at the crossroads of history. Gerald Warbow, the last of the storied archers who fought at Evesham and Falkirk, has all but hung up his bow and settled into the quiet life he has earned. But when the devious Piers Gaveston returns from exile, daring to defy Parliament, King Edward’s head is turned once more and England teeters on the brink of civil war. Amidst the ambitions of brash young nobles hungry for glory, Gerald is unexpectedly summoned by the Queen. The very oath he swore beside the dying Longshanks now compels him to rise once more. Although age has dulled his arrows and seasoned his spirit, his heart still beats fiercely for a king who needs guidance amid political chaos. Torn from the tranquil life of retirement he has cherished, Gerald embarks on a perilous journey through the snows of winter, as he seeks to protect the misguided Edward II whose naivety puts both himself and his realm at great risk. Broken Arrow is a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the hard truths of a turbulent kingdom. As Gerald rides into the storm, readers will grapple with the fervour of duty and the longing for peace. Amidst the clash of swords, discover how one man's final ride may very well shape the destiny of an entire nation - evoking a stirring reflection on the bonds of friendship, the burdens of honour, and the enduring fight for what one holds dear. Will Gerald succeed in his final quest to protect his king and his country?
