Summary:
Loyalty is tested to its limits in this thrilling English Civil War adventure.
In the opening days of 1644, there seems to be little hope for Parliaments soldiers. To William Sparrow and his men, the woods of Dorset are a snow-covered sanctuary even on Christmas Day from the horrors of Penmethock and pursuit by the Kings men. Hugo Telling has finally returned home, ready to introduce his wife, Bella Morrison, to his family. But the Telling family is now as affected by the war as any in England; Hugos brother has volunteered but on Parliaments side...
When Hugo and Bella make their way back to Prince Ruperts stronghold in Oxford, they must consider their justifications for Hugos absence. Surprisingly Bella is ordered to the Queens service, and now it is up to her to save Hugo if, for the first time, she can put anothers needs above her own. And all the while the Scots, the hardiest fighters of all, are making their way through the North of England, bringing new dangers and new fear to the torment that is the civil war.
The fifth instalment of The Shadow on the Crown series, Stand by the Colours, is a triumph, perfect for Conn Iggulden and David Gilman's fans.
