The Wanton Road
After years fighting in Europe, in 1639 war hero Jack Fiskardo returns to an England on the verge of civil war.
When widowed, grieving war hero Jack Fiskardo arrives in the London of 1639, a veteran not just of conflict but also of tragedy, his only wish is to make a different life for himself and his sons. But in an England on the verge of civil war, a soldier's past cannot be so easily forgotten.
As the country pulls itself apart, Carlo Fantom, Jack's first and deadliest foe, makes a chilling reappearance - but so does the headstrong and resourceful Pris Holland, a woman with her own connection to Jack.
Escaping who he was may be impossible, but in this new war, where even the oldest loyalties are compromised and there are hidden dangers around every corner, a future with those he loves is going to mean Jack risking everything he has...
The Wanton Road explores themes of conflict, loyalty, and the pursuit of a better future against the tumultuous backdrop of England on the brink of civil war.
