Honour and the Sword

Honour and the Sword

Honour and the Sword

14th April 2015 by Louise Berridge

‘A Man With No Honour Is No Man At All…’
1636, and the height of the Thirty Years War, one of the bloodiest conflicts Europe has ever seen. When his family is killed in the Spanish invasion of Picardy, the young Chevalier de Roland is forced into hiding with the local peasantry in order to survive. De Roland is an aristocrat, trained only to the code of honour and the use of the sword, and his failure to understand the submissiveness of a conquered village brings him into immediate conflict with his pragmatic protectors. But as the horrors of Occupation darken, de Roland begins to learn the importance of humanity, while his companions begin to discover the value of the sword. Together they will do the unthinkable, and form a ragged army to fight back.
