It's May 1643, and the Royalist cause is reeling. In the bloody aftermath of Sourton Down, Captain Stryker and his men are retreating across the wild borderlands of Dartmoor - fighting just to survive.
Then Stryker captures a Parliamentarian ammunition wagon from under the nose of ruthless Colonel Wild, and gains two powerful enemies. Wild swears to hunt him down, and at his side rides Osmyn Hogg, a fanatical witchfinder with his own deadly score to settle.
Soon Stryker's dwindling company have been driven onto a remote granite tor, outnumbered and outgunned. And if they can break free, a harder fight still lies ahead. For the road from Dartmoor leads to the village of Stratton, where an outnumbered Royalist army must storm an entrenched enemy position and break the Earl of Stamford's grip on the South West...
A gritty and authentic historical civil war adventure, perfect for fans of David Gilman, Giles Kristian and Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe.

Michael Arnold lives in Petersfield, Hampshire, with his wife and four kids. His interest in British history is lifelong, and childhood holidays were spent visiting castles and battlefields. He became a Sharpe junkie at the age of 13, and his fascination with the seventeenth century was piqued partly by the fact that his hometown is steeped in the history of the period. That interest spawned what became the critically acclaimed series, THE CIVIL WAR CHRONICLES following the formidable Captain Stryker. Mike is the first historical series novelist of our time to have used the English Civil Wars as his backdrop.
