Sea Change

It is January 1721. London is reeling from the effects of the greatest financial scandal of the age, the collapse of the South Sea Bubble. William Spandrel, a penniless mapmaker, is offered a discharge of his debts by his principal creditor, Sir Theodore Janssen, a director of the South Sea Company, on one condition: he must secretly convey an important package to a friend of Janssen's, Ysbrand de Vries, in Amsterdam. The package safely delivered, Spandrel barely survives an attempt on his life, only to be blamed for the murder of de Vries himself . . .

Looking Back

From the moment she learns of the stranger's visit, Molly Tattersall is filled with a sense of fear. A short time later, Molly's mother disappears, leaving behind a letter in which she asks Molly to take care of her five brothers and sisters. Molly's wayward father rejects his responsibilities, leaving Molly to make a choice between the young man she has given her heart to, and the family she adores, and who now desperately depend upon her.

Bernard Cornwell
Harlequin

Hellequin is what the French called the English archers who came across the Channel to lay waste the towns and countryside. Thomas of Hookton is one of those archers. When raiders sack his village, he escapes and becomes an archer in the army of King Edward 111. The King and his son, the Black Prince, are going to France with a great force of knights and men-at- arms, led by great lords. But it is the archers who will decide the success or failure of the invasion . . . Harlequin is the first in the Grail Quest series, planned to cover the Hundred Years' War.
