A defining battle in the Hundred Years War, through the eyes of one of its soldiers - a fourteen-year-old boy.

At his father''s deathbed, 14-year-old Jenkin Lloyd is bestowed with one last gift, his father''s most prized possession - a longbow that has been passed down from father to son for generations.
