Wallace's War — Griff Hosker

Against the tumultuous backdrop of 13th-century Britain, Gerald Warbow yearns for a peaceful life, nurturing his family and cultivating his lands as his hair turns silver. But King Edward I of England has other plans for the master archer. Despite the ashes of Scotland's defeat still smouldering at Dunbar, Warbow's skills are urgently needed as he is swept by the turbulent tides of war across the Channel to Flanders, where shadows of conflict with the French loom ominously over the horizon. When Scottish heroes Sir Andrew Murray and William Wallace radically alter the course of history with a stunning victory over English forces at Stirling Bridge, the stakes are raised. Warbow finds himself at the heart of a national struggle, compelled to choose between the comforts of home and the call of duty. As loyalties are tested and friendships forged, Gerald is sent to begin the war that will see the Scottish and English armies clash at Falkirk. Wallace's War is a gripping tale of bravery and sacrifice, where the bonds of family are strained amid the clash of empires. Readers will be drawn into the complexities of duty versus desire, and the heart-wrenching decisions that define not just a man, but a nation's future.
