Paris, 1784. Following a tragic battle in Quebec, we join William Neilson's grandson - also William - as he strives to find purpose in a changing world, amidst a backdrop of terror and conspiracy, and battles so bitter, they break even the strongest of wills.

Full of colour, and with rich and detailed research, the tales of William Nielson and his family are hugely entertaining and a must for readers of swashbuckling fiction.
