The Mob At The Gate

The Mob at the Gate is a gripping work of historical fiction set during the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, one of the most dramatic uprisings in medieval English history.

As thousands of rebellious peasants march on London, the young King Richard II struggles to maintain control his kingdom. At London Bridge stands Wulfric Blackwood, a royal archer entrusted with a terrible weapon: Greek Fire, a devastating incendiary capable of destroying the bridge and crushing the revolt. With a single command he could unleash it – but doing so would kill countless men, women, and children.

As rebellion spreads through the streets of medieval London, Wulfric must decide whether loyalty to the Crown is worth the terrible cost.
Meanwhile his daughter Isolde is drawn into the dangerous world of royal courts and political intrigue, where knowledge and cunning can prove more powerful than swords.

As powerful nobles manoeuver for advantage and the fate of England hangs in the balance, Isolde discovers that sometimes the greatest power lies in secrets others do not possess.

Rich in historical detail and dramatic tension, The Mob at the Gate brings the Peasants’ Revolt vividly to life, revealing how the choices of ordinary people can shape the course of history.
