Historical
An exhilarating ride through the last three colourful years of the reign of Charles II - the Merry Monarch.
The Spelthorpe company from the North Norfolk coast finds itself tackling pirates in the Eastern Atlantic, providing horses for the King to race at Newmarket and strengthening bonds with England's oldest ally, Portugal. They provide refuge to French Huguenots and rebels from the Monmouth rebellion.
The lead members meet Samuel Pepys, Nell Gwynne, the rising star of the English army John Churchill and his feisty wife Sarah. Together they earn the trust of the King and Queen and will encounter the evil of the slave trade in Barbados.
A fearless heroine emerges in these adventures who in her travels encounters an Islamic parrot and goes on to upset the French by taking one of their naval vessels to eventually find love, compatibility and a home on the Island of Eternal Spring - Madeira.
