Harlequin

From the back cover of the HarperCollins US uncorrected proof for the hardback edition 2001: "A spellbinding tale of a brave, young archer who sets out on a quest to avenge his family's honor - and begins the quest for the Holy Grail. Young Thomas of Hookton, the only survivor of a brutal pillaging of his village in 1343, joins the army of King Edward III as they're about to embark on an invasion into France - the beginning of the great Hundred Years War. A brilliant archer, Thomas comes of age as he fights his way through France. But his search for vengeance sets him on a much larger journey - the quest for the Holy Grail itself."
