Queen's Pawn (Weaponsmith Chronicles Book 2)

April 1635. Europe is seventeen years into the Thirty Years' war, the worst war in history - so far. What had started as a minor dust-up between Protestant and Catholic over the throne of Bohemia has escalated into multi-national conflict laying waste the whole of Central Europe. There's a whisper of peace in the wind, but no one's holding his breath. It's a bad time for the Protestant cause. In 1834 their main force has been smashed by the Spaniards and Imperialists, its leaders dead, prisoner, or on the run.

Colonel Frido von Strelitz's mercenary regiment has managed to stay clear of the disaster. Peace may be in the air, but so is a project to grab advantage before peace can break out. An army is assembling on the Middle Rhine, North of Heidelberg. The regiment is on its way to join it, the Montecuoli company in the lead. There is a river in the way, the bridge is controlled by the town of Hollenstedt, and the burghers are being difficult.

Roger Hawken, Englishman, ten years in the war, established as second-in-command of the Montecuoli but only too conscious that one day the luck will run out, leads the storm of the town The action will change his life. It sets him on the path to advancement, a place as a small piece on the European chessboard, and a life-altering relationship. It also sets in train a feud that will stretch back to England and in time come close to destroying both Roger and his family.
