France, 1356. The Hundred Years’ War rages, and the fields of Poitiers are about to run red. Among the armies of kings and princes stands William Gold—a cook’s boy turned branded thief, with a dream far too big for his station. He longs to be a knight, but in a world consumed by plague, greed, and betrayal, ideals like honor and chivalry are little more than fairy tales.
As mercenaries ravage the countryside and peasants rise in bloody rebellion, William must decide what kind of man he will become: the knight he’s always imagined, or the survivor this brutal age demands.
Christian Cameron’s The Ill-Made Knight launches the Chivalry series with grit, glory, and the clash of steel on history’s grandest stage.
