June 2015 Book of the Month.
Historical fiction with a punch of realism and a twist of scheming political intrigue, several characters have returned in this commanding sequel to ‘After Flodden’. This is the tale of the battling and colluding Wardens of the Marches and Border Reivers, set ten years on from the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Double crossing, spying, scheming and underhanded tactics go hand in hand when it’s as easy to doubt your allies as your enemy. The author adds a vivid intensity to the background of the story; the surroundings, the customs, the industry, the everyday life of men and women are clear to feel and see. The Crozier’s relationship adds a spark to proceedings and is a welcome addition to the battle of wits that twists and surges from the pages in this entertaining and intelligent novel. ~ Liz Robinson
