Synopsis

The epic new historical adventure from the number one bestseller

1190 – Humble layman Will Bowman lives in the countryside with his pregnant wife, when soldiers from Richard Lionheart’s army tear through his home. Will is beaten unconscious, and awakes to find his wife murdered, his farm burnt down, and his life forever changed.

In vengeance, Will infiltrates Richard’s army to find the marauding gang, and finds himself swept along in the march of the Crusades. With the help of new allies and fuelled by his loss, Will crosses Europe with the King’s army.

Can Will avenge his wife? Or will he be swept away by the unstoppable force of Richard’s Crusade?

 

Praise

"Punctuated by bloody battles, exquisite swordplay and a thrilling storyline, the action is relentless and Scott Mariani fans will not be disappointed. The research is exemplary, the historical figures are wonderfully written and the locations evocative, dusty, hot and exotic. Will Bowman is a character I look forward to hearing much more about."
—Sharon Bennett Connolly, historian and author of Scotland's Medieval Queens

‘Two of my favourite things have come together - Scott Mariani's masterful storytelling and the medieval world. Meticulously researched and skilfully brought to life, The Pilgrim's Revenge is an action-packed, roller coaster ride. The gripping, and at times agonising, adventures of Will the Bowman have only just begun - and I'm hooked!’
