Description

1743 – Europe. Wrested from his friends and all that is familiar, Will Archer finds himself enlisted in King George’s army and on his way to war.
From Ostend, through Bruges and Ghent and on to the battlefield, stripped of everything including his own name and identity, Will experiences all the hardships of the campaign and the cruelties of military punishment.
In a world so unfamiliar, can anyone be trusted – his new friends or the figures from his past who unexpectedly reappear?
In an arena where violent death in battle may pass unremarked, other deaths closer to home are not so easily explained…
Against the background of European conflict, Will Archer encounters friendship and treachery, love and despair – which all culminate in a thrilling climax amidst the slaughter and tumult of the bloody Battle of Dettingen
