All to the Sword

By Chris Oswald

Can you imagine a government determined upon the mass

slaughter of its own people?

Thomas Davenport is invited to design a magnificent

new house. His sister, Grace, hears it's deep in the Scottish

Highlands and decides the invitation should include the wider

Davenport family.

They depart in the summer of 1691, not realising that their

travels will put them in the midst of the Glen Coe Massacre,

one of the most horrific acts of a government against the people

in British history. They flee desperately, while the forces of

government flex their muscles, threatening their liberty, their

lives.

For blame has to be placed on someone, especially when

public opinion turns against the perpetrators.

Their departure for the Highlands leaves Parchman

virtually free rein in Dorset, letting loose on the Davenports

he hates, targeting homes, friends and possessions. He employs

a host of evildoers including his assistant, Alfie Rose, and his

one-time bosses, Cartwright and Ferguson. But there are other

forces in the equation, such as love and friendship; will they

prove stronger than anything Parchman can wield or will the

travellers return to ruin and desolation?

All to the Sword continues the gripping Dorset Chronicles

series; the history and drama surrounding the emergence of our

modern nation.
