Nicholas Carter

Rivalry and battle abound in this action-packed historical adventure of the English Civil War.
1643:Sir William Waller’s army has been defeated on Roundway Down, his infantry left stranded on the bleak slopes at the mercy of the Royalist cavalry. Sir Ralph Hopton is now free to turn his attention to Parliament’s bastion in the West – Bristol. 

The city walls are strong enough but Bristol has precious few men and even fewer guns with which to defend them. And to make matters worse, rumour has it that Prince Rupert, the bane of Parliament's cause, is on his way from Oxford to reinforce Hopton.

But for William Sparrow, captured on Roundway, such fears are distant. His fight against the King seems to be over and he is to be sold into slavery and shipped to the West Indies. Hugo Telling has fallen victim to confused fighting and is a prisoner of Parliament. The war between the two men for Bella Morrison’s affections is at an impasse…

The second thrilling instalment of The Shadow on the Crown series, Storming Party is perfect for fans of David Gilman and Bernard Cornwell.

The Shadow on the Crown

Storming Party

Loyalty is tested when brothers find themselves on opposing sides in this historical adventure set during the English Civil War.
 
 In the opening days of 1644, there seems to be little hope for Parliament’s soldiers. To William Sparrow and his men, the woods of Dorset are a snow-covered sanctuary—even on Christmas Day—from the horrors of Penmethock and pursuit by the King’s men. Hugo Telling has finally returned home, ready to introduce his “wife” Bella Morrison, to his family. But the Telling family is now as affected by the war as any in England; Hugo’s brother has volunteered—but on Parliament’s side . . .
 
 When Hugo and Bella make their way back to Prince Rupert’s stronghold in Oxford, they must consider their justifications for Hugo’s absence. Surprisingly Bella is ordered to the Queen’s service, and now it is up to her to save Hugo—if, for the first time, she is able to put another’s needs above her own. And all the while the Scots, the hardiest fighters of all, are making their way through the north of England, bringing new dangers and new fear to the torment that is the Civil War.
 
Stand by the Colours is the fifth thrilling installment of The Shadow on the Crown series.

Harvest of Swords

Rival soldiers face off in the final battle of the First English Civil War in this historical adventure.
 
 It is more than a year since printer’s apprentice turned Parliamentarian soldier William Sparrow and his royalist rival Hugo Telling last came to blows.

 As the political and religious divides which have convulsed the country for three years grow more bitter by the day, the New Model Army heads north to challenge the King’s field army, commanded by the brilliant but dangerously compulsive Prince Rupert. Two worlds will collide at Naseby, where history will be made . . .
