SAMPLE
註釋
1592.
Robert Carey, eighth son of Lord Hunsdon, has – to his servants' dismay –
abandoned
Queen Elizabeth I's court and is heading north to take up the post of Deputy Warden of the English
West March
, a lawless badlands, peopled by cattle-rustlers, horse-thieves, arsonists, kidnappers and murderers created by centuries of Anglo-Scottish conflict. Carey, in his lace-collared, pearl-sashed courtly finery, will be expected to bring order to this bloody flux.
Plunging readers
straight into the
raucous world
of late sixteenth-century border reivers and unfettered Elizabethan intrigue,
Guns in the North
, the first chronicle of Sir Robert Carey's adventures, collecting the novels
A Famine of Horses
,
A Season of Knives
and
A Surfeit of Guns
under one volume.
