Legacy

The bittersweet final instalment in the engaging tale of Sir John Hawkwood; the English Mercenary who became an Italian legend. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, David Gilman and Ben Kane.

Sir John Hawkwood may be getting old but he is still as wily as a fox. Feared and revered in equal measure, one of the greatest military leaders the world has ever known is drawn once again into a territorial dispute, beginning at the Florentine borderlands. Leading a coalition of city-states, he strikes deep into the nest of Milanese vipers and their allies. Using the skills honed over a long and illustrious career, the English mercenary takes the war to the very gates of Milan, cementing his legacy as 'Giovanni Acuto' – supreme condottiero.
