Yorkshire, 1644
Colonel Hollie Babbitt’s never been conventional. Never had to be. But it's time he grew up and went respectable: a coming man with a wife and family, enjoying the favour of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Parliament, his future seems assured – if he keeps his head down.
But the rebel rabble won't let him. Worse; they seem determined to bring every disapproving eye in the Army their way.
Following a humiliating defeat at the siege of Lathom House, Hollie comes to recognise a new enemy. As the forces of King and Parliament mass for the last great battle for the North of England, he discovers a new enemy - within his own troops.
One officer dead, and another broken - perhaps beyond mending.
Secrets and shadows in the heart of the Army.
Is his family’s future worth the price of Hollie’s silence?
Genre: Historical
