Cover Flap
No one will ever know what Colonel Lunsford was thinking. Perhaps he was angered that his well trained war horse had stopped still and was nudging playfully at the lass. He drew his sabre from its sheath in a long practiced swoop of his arm, a swoop which would end when the blade slashed flesh and the blood gushed.
Daniel could not believe his eyes when he saw the glint of the sabre, the very sabre that Daniel had handed back to this officer on the battlefield once he had surrendered it. The Wyred sisters who wove irony into the fates of men were always perverse. Would sparing this man's life in Newbourne now cost him a daughter here in London. He flipped his winter cloak open so he could reach for his pistol.

Skye Smith is my pen name. The Pistoleer is a series of historical adventure novels set in Britain in the 1640's. I was encouraged to write them by fans of my Hoodsman series.
This is the third of the series, and you should read the first novel 'HellBurner' before you read 'Pirates' because it sets the characters and scene for the entire series. The sequence of the books follows the timeline of the Republic of Great Britain. The chapter headings identify the dates and places.
