The Reckoning

Set in 1811, as the hungry French army falls back through Portugal having failed to bring Lord Wellington’s forces to battle, this fast-paced short story tells the gripping tale of a bitter fight to the death between two individuals taking place in the very heart of the enemy’s army. Love, honour and reputation are all at stake as the strange contest follows its course, the two men’s lives dependent on nothing other than quick thinking and their skill with a blade.
