Learning who to trust is a perilous game in Walters' latest historical novel. Set in 1685 during the reign of James II, there is rebellion, unrest and betrayal in the air. The country is already scarred by civil war and the new Catholic monarch looks set to deepen the social divide.
Waiting in the wings to claim the throne is the Protestant Duke of Monmouth, the illegitimate son of James' popular predecessor Charles II. In Dorset, this game of kings comes crashing down and the stakes could not be higher.
Walters can be relied on to spin a gripping yarn, and brings a ray of light to this dark chapter in our history. 8/10
