Newly returned from years of secret work in Paris for the late king, Charles II, Lieutenant Holcroft Blood, a gunnery officer in His Majesty's Ordnance, must now face James II's enemies on the gore-drenched battlefields of the British Isles. But after the victory at Sedgemoor, many powerful men have grown tired of Catholic James's brutal, autocratic rule and seek to invite William, the Protestant Prince of Orange, to seize the thrones of the Three Kingdoms. While revolution brews in the gentleman's clubs of London, Holcroft discovers that a murderous French spymaster has followed him across the Channel. Worse, Holcroft must decide whether to join the conspirators and support Dutch William's invasion--or remain loyal to his unpopular king.
