Kemp: The Flames of Heresy
Hero of the 100 Years War, Martin Kemp, is back… and this time he’s playing with fireThe Count of Targères has seized control of Cazoulat. Determined to stamp his authority on the district, he is playing divide and rule, convincing the townsfolk that only he can crush the heretics in their midst.
Medieval archer Martin Kemp arrives on the Gascon frontier, where bands of brigands are pillaging undefended towns like a plague of locusts. Kemp is determined to win back control of the band of mercenaries he once captained, the Company of the Dragon - but with the company now in the pocket of the Count, he faces an impossible task.
Kemp soon finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse with Targères. When the Bishop of Cahors arrives at Cazoulat to carry out a Holy Inquisition, Kemp and his friends must gamble everything – their fortunes, their lives, perhaps even their souls – on a brutal showdown at the Castel Galinièr.
The thrilling next instalment of the bestselling series by Jonathan Lunn, perfect for readers of Angus Donald, Bernard Cornwell and Matthew Harffy.

Cracking.
I love Martin Kemp. He's one of us in a way. He's a commoner and he wants his routiers back. Unfortunately for Martin, nothing is ever straightforward and that certainly rings true again. One thing he does have going for him are his friends. Nompar and Centule along with his fellow archer Ieuann. They are a band of brothers. A brilliant series, but if you haven't read Jonathan Lunn before, start with the first book in the series. You won't regret it.

I didn't read all the books in this series but I enjoyed those I read as they're action packed and fast paced.
Martin Kemp is an interesting and well developed character, the historical background is vivid and well researched.
A well plotted story that I recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

Another great chapter in Kemps life. Always relish reading Jonathan Lynn books. He doesn't waste ink embellishing his characters too much. Great read
