About this ebook

A rip-roaring historical novella, set four years before Gentleman Captain

Matthew Quinton, eighteen years old and an ensign in the Royalist Army in exile, is sent by his older brother the Earl of Ravensden into the heart of Oliver Cromwell’s England. Surrounded by enemies, he soon becomes tangled in a dark web of conspiracy...

Before long Quinton will have his first bloody taste of war, in the Battle of the Dunes, June 1658. In the battle Roundheads and Royalists will fight one another one final time...

Ensign Royal will appeal to fans of C. S. Forester and Alexander Kent.
