Book excerpt: "England 1642: a nation divided. King Charles and Parliament each gather soldiers to their banners. Across the land men prepare to fight for their religious and political ideals. A family ripped asunder. The Rivers are landed gentry, and their allegiance is to the Crown. Edmund, the eldest son, will do his duty to his king, but his brother Tom will turn his back on all he once believed in. As the men go to fight, so the women are left to defend their home. A war that will change everything. From the raising of the King's Standard at Nottingham Castle to the butchery of Edgehill, Edmund and Tom Rivers will each learn of honour, sacrifice, hatred and betrayal as they follow their chosen paths through the bloody chaos of civil war."--Back cover.
