Harvest of Swords

  Two British military captains are rivals in love and combat in this historical adventure novel set in the English Civil War.
 
In the late autumn of the first year of the English Civil War, William Sparrow and Hugo Telling are again caught up in the impossible confusion tearing the country and their lives apart. Yet this time their greatest battles, fought on both land and sea, are with a new enemy, Lord Clavincale.
 
As they struggle through the bitterly cold Dorset winter, their hard-won experience is enough to lead their men, but never equal to capture the most alluring prize of all, Bella Morrison; especially when there is new competition for her hand . . .

Harvest of Swords is the thrilling fourth installment of The Shadow on the Crown series.

Praise for the writing of Nicholas Carter:
 
“Ringing to the clash of blades and the roar of cannon and pungent with the whiff of gunpowder . . . A storming read.” —Peterborough Telegraph

“Carter’s stories are in a league of their own.” —Bristol Observer
