Heretic, by Bernard Cornwell

In the book Heretic, by Bernard Cornwell Thomas of Hookton travels south into Gascony and to a final confrontation. The novel begins with the fall of Calais, and most of the events occur in the subsequent truce. As Thomas travels south to look for the Holy Grail he finds only Death and Despair, Deceit and Abuse. Thomas and his companions capture a city and use it as a home, scouring nearby villages for food, and looking for the grail along the way. His friends lose their loyalty but Thomas holds true, and in the end he is besieged by his own friend. In this battle he somehow finds the Grail but, he discovers that this is not the real Grail and that someone was trying to forge it. Read to find out how and if Thomas finds the most priceless religious artifact in the world.

  The last book in the Archers Tale Series this one was as good as the ones before. Very captivating but gruesomely realistic, in terms of betrayal and deceit. This book like the other ones was very good and I would give it a 10/10 and cannot compare it to any other that I have read.
