Heretic by Bernard Cornwell (2003, Hardcover) 1st Edition

Description: 2003 1st Edition in perfect unread condition. From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the sequel to The Archer's Tale and Vagabond --the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail. Already a seasoned veteran of King Edward's army, young Thomas of Hookton possesses the fearlessness of a born leader and an uncanny prowess with the longbow. Now, at the head of a small but able band of soldiers, he has been dispatched to capture the castle of Astarac. But more than duty to his liege has brought him to Gascony, home of his forebears and the hated black knight who brutally slew Thomas's father. It is also the last place where the Holy Grail was reported seen. Here, also, a beautiful and innocent, if not pious, woman is to be burned as a heretic. Saving the lady, Genevieve, from her dread fate will brand Thomas an infidel, forcing them to flee together across a landscape of blood and fire. And what looms ahead is a battle to the death that could ultimately shape the future of Christendom. 1st Edition in perfect unread condition.

Please keep in mind that antiques and vintage items are, by virtue of time and technology, rarely "mint" by modern-day standards. See synopsis below for our interpretation of condition terms. We take great care to accurately represent the condition of each item, and of course, fully guarantee every item to be as described. If you feel an error has been made, please notify us immediately.Condition Notes: Since certain words are open to interpretation, here is a short synopsis of the meaning we attach to various terms relevant to condition. In all cases, anything that we believe is outside the boundaries of accepted norms will be fully described in the listings. PERFECT. The item is free of chips, cracks, or hairlines. Expect reasonable signs of use and age and/or minor original manufacturing flaws. FLAWLESS: The piece was originally made without any flaws and is undamaged as outlined under PERFECT. You may expect to see some reasonable signs of use such as normal and usually validating bottom wear, but anything beyond that will not be described as FLAWLESS. MINT: A word we almost never use, implies that a piece has no flaws, no wear, no sign of use, no damage -- and to all intents and purposes, remains as pristine as the day it was made.International bidders: Items will be mailed only to your confirmed eBay address, and under no circumstances will customs forms be falsified to reflect a lower value or "gift". International buyers will be solely responsible for any customs fees, duties, import taxes, and any related charges. A modest handling charge will be added to the final total to help defray our cost for insurance. For priority and parcel post, this will run $2; and for media and first class $1 regardless of the final bid price of the item.Returns are accepted provided notification is received within 14 business days of receipt of your item.
