On the lawless Anglo-Scottish border, survival is a matter of blood, loyalty-and steel.
In the early fifteenth century, the borderlands are a place apart, where allegiance is not to crown or country, but to kin. The reiver clans ride hard across the marches, taking what they need to endure, living by the sword in a world where law holds little sway.
Edmund and Robert Collingwood are among them-hardened horsemen whose lives are shaped by raid and reprisal. When they are drawn into a campaign under Archibald Douglas against the English, they ride south in search of plunder and profit. Instead, they find themselves at the heart of a devastating defeat at Homildon Hill, where the old ways of war are shattered in a storm of arrows.
Captured and held by the formidable Henry Hotspur Percy, Edmund becomes entangled in the dangerous politics of a kingdom on the brink. As tensions rise between Percy and the crown, rebellion stirs, and old enemies begin to look like uneasy allies.
Across the Channel, intrigue unfolds in the courts of France, where ambition and deceit threaten to ignite another conflict, drawing the strands of war, loyalty, and betrayal ever tighter.
From the windswept borders of Britain to the halls of French nobility, Reiver is a sweeping historical novel of violence and honour, where men must choose not only how they fight-but who they fight for.
