England, 1685. Newly returned from years of secret work in Paris for the late Charles II, Lieutenant Holcroft Blood, a brilliant but unusual 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, and its bloody aftermath, 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 gentlemen's clubs of London, Holcroft discovers that a murderous French spymaster, known only by his code name Narrey, has followed him across the Channel. Worse, Holcroft must decide whether to join the conspirators, including his old friend Jack Churchill, now Lord Marlborough, and support Dutch William's invasion - or remain loyal to his unpopular king. Facing danger from all sides, Holcroft must now choose whether to follow his friend - or his conscience?
