Spring 1628: England is at war with France as the rest of Europe consumes itself in increasingly bitter conflict. n Dunkirk, Philip Lord, disgraced adventurer, has a new ship and through it the chance to gain enough from his privateering to follow his guiding star. But when he must risk everything to rescue a fellow Dunkirker at sea, he and the ever-loyal Jorrit are thrown into mortal danger.
The Turncoat’s Revenge continues the ‘Lord's Learning’ prequel to Eleanor Swift Hook’s ‘Lord’s Legacy’ series. exploring the consequences of divided loyalty. From several points of view we examine what it means to navigate duty and desire when the stakes are high and the path forward is anything but clear.
Although this is a work of historical fiction, I was impressed by the skill with which real historical figures and events are seamlessly woven into the tapestry of the story. As well as grounding the narrative with immersive period detail, these reak events provide the characters with a compelling context.
Having read the ‘Lord’s Legacy’ series, I also enjoyed the layers of back story which continue to be revealed. At times brutal and even shocking action reminds readers of the challenges of the era, and make this boo a real ‘page turner.’ Highly recommended.
