Horse and Pistol

He sought a new beginning; he found a holy war.

An only child of Anglo-French descent, young James Bretherton has known a life of privilege; well-educated and mild mannered, his path is filled with promise. But when James suddenly finds himself orphaned and penniless, his future looks decidedly bleak. It is only when Fate intervenes in the guise of two English mercenaries, that James is given hope. Embarking on a new life as a soldier, he soon becomes embroiled in the religious war between Catholics and Protestants, The Empire and the German States; the war that was known as The Thirty Years War.

Set against the backdrop of one of history's most protracted and devastating conflicts, Horse & Pistol is a story which captures the turmoil of a young man trying to find his place in the world whilst navigating the treacherous divides brought by faith and loyalty.

The exciting first instalment in the English Mercenary series by Griff Hosker. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and S. G. Maclean.
