The Missing Treasure

Exciting Historical Fiction about English Archers, the Crusades, gold and silver treasure hunters, early Marines, and the war at Constantinople during the feudal Middle Ages

The saga continues and the stakes have never been higher.
Following the death of King Richard, medieval England is torn by war, power struggles, and the rise of men who refuse to remain in the mud they were born into. William and his English archers once mere serfs have become a force feared on land and sea.

Fresh from escorting the emperor and his courtiers to safety, and tricking them out of their gold, William’s fleet returns to Constantinople now under siege. But this time, the battle is not for land, loyalty, or crowns… it is for treasure so valuable it could buy kingdoms.

A three-way war erupts:

• The emperor’s successor

• The crusading armies

• And William’s Company of Archers
  …each racing to claim the Orthodox Church’s priceless gold and silver icons before they are melted down forever.

William and his lieutenants don’t care about religious meaning only the power that treasure brings. They are willing to kill, betray, and fight to the last arrow to claim the icons and trade them to Popes, Templars, or nobles for far more than bullion ever could.

Expect nonstop action, siege warfare, betrayal, naval combat, and the brutal realities of feudal life, as the extraordinary rise of English serfs continues in this gripping, battle-driven historical series.
