Summary
In the tradition of Bernard Cornwell, bestselling historical
novelist Giles Kristian begins an epic new adventure set against
the tumultuous and bloody backdrop of the civil war that tore
England apart.
England 1642: a nation divided.
England is at war with itself. King Charles and Parliament each
gather soldiers to their banners. Across the land men prepare to
fight for their religious and political ideals. Civil war has
begun.
A family ripped asunder.
The Rivers are landed gentry, and tradition dictates that their
allegiance is to the King. Sir Francis' loyalty to the crown and
his desire to protect his family will test them all. As the men
march to war, so the women are left to defend their home against a
ruthless enemy. Just as Edmund, the eldest of Sir Francis' sons,
will do his duty, so his brother Tom will turn his back on all he
once believed in.
A war that will change everything.
From the raising of the King's Standard at Nottingham to the
butchery and blood of Edgehill, Edmund and Tom Rivers will each
learn of honour, sacrifice, hatred and betrayal as they follow
their chosen paths through this most savage of wars.
