Synopsis

Blooded on the battlefields of Canada, fresh from a winter spent with a voluptuous widow, Jack Absolute has every reason to feel good. And life only gets better when the ship returning him to England takes a rich prize.

But gold is not all Jack collects. Fever nearly kills him, and it is only the skill of his new comrade, Red Hugh McClune, which saves his life. The friendship takes him to convalesce in Bath - and into a passionate liaison with the Irishman's beautiful cousin. But things are not as they seem, tragedy strikes, and Jack escapes with his life but loses something more important to him: his honour.

From an assassination attempt on King George to espionage at the Jacobite Court in Rome, through betrayal, mutiny, cavalry charges and duels, Jack seeks to restore that honour - with a consequence he could not have foreseen, and a price to be paid in blood...

"A rip-roaring adventure packed with action, drama and passion - C.C. Humphreys takes you into a swashbuckling world you won't want to leave." --Kate Mosse
