Sir John Hawkwood may be getting old but he is still as wily as a fox.
Feared and revered in equal measure, one of the greatest military leaders the world has ever known is drawn once again into a territorial dispute, beginning at the Florentine borderlands.
Leading a coalition of city-states, he strikes deep into the nest of Milanese vipers and their allies.
Using the skills honed over a long and illustrious career, the English mercenary takes the war to the very gates of Milan, cementing his legacy as ‘Giovanni Acuto’ – supreme condottiero.
