Traitor’s Knot
By Cryssa Bazos
England 1650: Civil War has given way to an uneasy peace in the year since Parliament executed King Charles I. Royalist officer James Hart refuses to accept the tyranny of the new government, and to raise funds for the restoration of the king’s son, he takes to the road as a highwayman.
Elizabeth Seton has long been shunned for being a traitor’s daughter. In the midst of the new order, she risks her life by sheltering fugitives from Parliament in a garrison town. But her attempts to rebuild her life are threatened, first by her own sense of injustice, then by falling in love with the dashing Hart.
The lovers’ loyalty is tested through war, defeat and separation. James must fight his way back to the woman he loves, while Elizabeth will do anything to save him, even if it means sacrificing herself.
Traitor's Knot is a sweeping tale of love and conflicted loyalties set against the turmoil of the English Civil War.
Confession time - I saw this book on my best friends coffee table and having staked an interest in the said book, my friend was kind enough to let me borrow it, although I was under strict instructions not to read it in the bath. Of course I agreed, but you know how it is. Thankfully the damage is not too bad, and I actually think water damage gives a book character. Umm...!
This book is amazingly addictive. I could not put it down, this book was glued to my hand (except for the whole dropping it in the bath incident)! This is a novel that has to be on your to-read list because it is quite simply brilliant.
I grabbed this book from my friends coffee table but you can also grab a copy on Amazon which is where I am going now to replace the one I dropped!
