A decisive Imperial victory; a casket abandoned after battle. A hunt for vital letters begins as Bohemia simmers in a cauldron of religious conflict.
With the brutal Thirty Years’ War broiling into the summer of 1619, Lieutenant Jack Channing takes on a cavalier’s commission and pursues the malevolent Sebastian Grieux, who reclaims the parchments for the Bohemian rebels. While negotiating the attentions of Anezka, the Princess Princess Stasna-Stechova and alluring chatelaine of Velesin Castle, and the distractions of Marianna, the countess that he adores, Jack searches for the casket and his nemesis, determined to recover the documents and preserve a reputation.
This sequel to The Cavalier Club is a swashbuckling yarn of love, honour and adventure. The Cavalier’s Commission captures the early events of Europe’s devastating conflict with genuine and immersive storytelling, woven from a rigorous study of historical material.
