From Christopher Nuttall, best-selling science-fiction and fantasy author, comes the next
instalment in his hugely popular fantasy / alternative history adventure Royal Sorceress series.
The long-dreaded war between Britain and France
has finally begun. French soldiers have landed on English soil and the
British Army – and the Royal Sorcerers Corps, led by Lady Gwen – is
moving to meet them. But when an inexperienced major disobeys her
orders and sends two hundred hussars to their deaths, Gwen accidentally
uses her magic to permanently damage his mind and sparks a political
crisis at the worst possible time.
In the aftermath of the battle, Lord Mycroft
suggests she leave Britain and head to the North American colonies,
where British forces are anxiously awaiting a French offensive. The
local sorcerers have been poisoned, the local government is barely
keeping the colonies under control, the slaves are mutinous and
revolution against the crown is brewing. The few locals with any known
magical talent are untrained and certainly not ready for combat, but –
if they can be trained in time – they may be all that stands between the colonies and defeat.
Accompanied by Irene Adler and Raechel
Slater-Standish, agents of the British Crown, Gwen heads to North
America. But it may be too late to save the colonies from a disaster
that has been long in the making...
In Sons of Liberty, Gwen is sent from the relative safety of London to the colonies, where an undercurrent of
revolution still abounds and intrigue and espionage are essential to
keep the enemy at bay. But who exactly is the enemy? In the latest
book in this exciting alternative history series, Christopher Nuttall
expands Gwen’s horizons beyond Europe into the New World.
