An exciting plot and a swarthy, wonderfully attractive main character... exciting, heady stuff * Globe and Mail * Through the eyes of likeable rogue Lawrence Beaumont, Letemendia vividly re-creates the dark world of deceit, distrust and political intrigue which heralds the start of the English Civil War -- Michael Arnold, author of Traitor's Blood A fiendish plot, full of intrigue and violence, and a richness and depth rare in historical fiction - I loved it -- Ben Kane I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a brilliant read... My only complaint is that I've now got to wait for the next installment! -- Susanna Gregory Conspiracy, passion and treason in the English Civil War * Woman & Home *
