1190 - Humble layman Will Bowman lives in the countryside with his pregnant wife, when soldiers from Richard Lionheart's army tear through his home. Will is beaten unconscious, and awakes to find his wife murdered, his farm burnt down, and his life forever changed.

In vengeance, Will infiltrates Richard's army to find the marauding gang, and finds himself swept along in the march of the Crusades. With the help of new allies and fuelled by his loss, Will crosses Europe with the King's army.

Can Will avenge his wife? Or will he be swept away by the unstoppable force of Richard's Crusade?

Critics Review

PRAISE FOR THE PILGRIM'S REVENGE:
Fast paced, deeply immersive, The Pilgrim's Revenge is a belter of a novel . . . [Scott Mariani] shows his deep knowledge of the period in this excellent read. A read-to-the-end page turner, this is historical fiction as it should be written
Ben Kane, bestselling author of Rome
Two of my favourite things have come together - Scott Mariani's masterful storytelling and the medieval world. Meticulously researched and skilfully brought to life, The Pilgrim's Revenge is an action-packed, roller coaster ride. The gripping, and at times agonising, adventures of Will the Bowman have only just begun - and I'm hooked!
Philippa Langley MBE
Classic storytelling on an epic scale
Tony Riches, bestselling historical fiction author
Fast-paced, exhilarating . . . Punctuated by bloody battles, exquisite swordplay and a thrilling storyline, the action is relentless . . . The research is exemplary . . . Will Bowman is a character I look forward to hearing much more about
