When a labourer is murdered on the coast road, the identity of the killers would be beyond the imagination of the townsfolk. That is if the whole sorry incident hadn't been witnessed by a roguish young poacher, who is immediately blamed. The chain of events that follows, open up a world of traitors and spy catchers. As the musket balls start to fly the gritty youngster with nothing to lose is dragged into the whole unseen war. A world where nobody is quite as they seem and trust is an unaffordable luxury. This is the first in a series, which follows Jack as he's plunged into the Napoleonic war and the unseen battles, which determined the fate of so many.
