Thomas Bolton loosed his final arrow toward a target one hundred paces away with his new six-foot yew longbow. Alongside Thomas, his uncle and sole competitor, Moss Barker, peered across the dusty field and smiled. "You did well, but I got more in the middle circle." Thomas is determined to beat his uncle, the reigning three-time champion, at the annual Fall Festival archery contest only three months away. During the next ninety days treachery, attempted murder, and a search for hidden Roman gold make winning appear trivial. Set in 1706 rural Somerset, England, The Last Archers has an intriguing plot, memorable characters, and a strong sense of history in the fascinating Restoration period. The Last Archers weaves the lives of Thomas and Moss with local innkeepers, the ruling earl, the vicar, a midwife and her niece, and London dignitaries, including Queen Anne and the architect, Sir Christopher Wren. Drama, deception, humor, and romance enhance this intriguing narrative.
