A Traitor's Fate is the long-awaited sequel to Feud and second book in the Rebels & Brothers series set during the Wars of the Roses. Peace never lasts… It is 1464. Ned Elder and his two sisters, Emma & Eleanor, have won a hard-fought peace and their feud with the Radcliffes seems long over, but one man never accepted the outcome. After three bitter years of waiting to destroy the Elders, a new ally provides him with a fresh opportunity for revenge. When Ned is summoned to confront a Lancastrian revolt by the new king, Edward of York, he finds his enemies are not just amongst the ranks of the rebels. Branded a traitor by his own commander, the Earl of Warwick, Ned is soon a wanted man in hostile territory and the price on his head only rises when he stumbles upon a royal secret. Meanwhile, Eleanor and Emma watch over Ned’s pregnant wife, Amelie, with only a small garrison of old men and boys to protect them. The feud may have ended, but the scars run deep for all three women and they must hold their nerve and prepare to defend themselves at any cost. A condemned man, Ned must find a way to escape his pursuers or else the whole Elder family will be destroyed.
Author

I was born in Hampshire in England but spent my teenage years in Auckland, New Zealand where I still have strong family ties. I came back to England and read History at Reading University. For many years I taught history in a secondary school in Berkshire but took early retirement several years ago to concentrate on my writing. My debut book, Feud, is set in the Wars of the Roses and is fast paced historical fiction. It is the first of the series, Rebels & Brothers including: A Traitor's Fate, Kingdom of Rebels the final book in the series, The Last Shroud. Kingdom of Rebels was selected as an Editor's Choice and was longlisted for the 2017 HNS Award. A second Wars of the Roses series, The Craft of Kings, followed comprising so far: Scars from the Past, The Blood of Princes and Echoes of Treason. The final book in the series: Crown of Fear will be out later in 2020. My latest book, The Last of the Romans, is a new foray into the post-Roman world of Ambrosius Aurelianus. A sequel will come out this year.
