Historical Fiction

It is 1636 – the height of the Thirty Years War. The Spanish armies swell out of the Artois region of the Netherlands, flooding into King Louis XIII’s France. The border village of Dax-en-roi stands in their way. The Chevalier de Roland rallies a valiant defence, but his household guard is no match for the invaders. There is only one survivor of the Spanish brutality: the lone heir to the Roland name, a young boy called André de Roland, the new Sieur of Dax ... Upon this young nobleman’s shoulders all hope lies.
