A groundbreaking historical novel set in the English Civil
War.
Rebels and Traitors is a groundbreaking
departure for this most admired of British authors,
returning to Lindsey Davis’ first love in historical
fiction, the English Civil War. Sweeping in scope and
fraught with the same drama and passion, her epic novel does
the same for this conflict as Margaret Mitchell’s Gone
with the Wind did for the American Civil War.
The
book tells with startling realism what it was like to have
fought in the front line of the battles and politics of the
era. Through the story of a man and a woman, Gideon Jukes
and Juliana Lovell, caught on opposite sides of the
Parliamentarian/Royalist divide but fated to be brought
together by adversity, loss and mutual attraction. But
before this can happen, the terrible events of the seven
years that King Charles waged war on his own people must be
endured, culminating the day in January 1649 when the world
was turned upside down and the King was executed. It is in
this crucible that Gideon’s and Juliana’s love will be forged.
