The Turncoat's Revenge
(2026)(The third book in the Lord's Learning series)
A novel by Eleanor Swift-Hook
'17th Century Europe comes alive, with story twists guaranteed to make you gasp aloud.' Jacquie Rogers, Author of the Quintus Valerius Mysteries
Spring 1628.
England is at war with France as the rest of Europe consumes itself in increasingly bitter conflict.
In 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.
Meanwhile, Lady Catherine de Bouqulement is trying to obtain information that will protect her and the cause of her mistress, the exiled Winter Queen, from the might of the most powerful man in England — a man who wants Kate dead.
The trail leads her back to London. But neither old friends nor new acquaintances can protect her, as the well-woven web of intrigue surrounding the proof she seeks draws ever tighter.
When Philip Lord is compelled to make landfall in England, Jorrit finds his own life shaken to its roots, whilst Lord confronts the consequences of his past choices — and the shadowy organisation that has shaped his life since birth.
But the repercussions of Kate's investigations ripple outward, shattering both their worlds.
And when everything else has been ripped away, there is only cold-blooded vengeance.
Eleanor Swift-Hook fell in love with the early Stuart era at university. She is also the author of the Lord's Legacy series. She lives in County Durham.
