All Ye That Pass By: Book 1: Gone for a Soldier

By Avellina Balestri

All Ye That Pass By: Book 1 - Gone for a Soldier Young Edmund Southworth could not have foreseen the path his life would take upon befriending Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, British military veteran and parliamentarian. As Catholic recusants from the north of England, Edmund's once noble family has struggled to survive for centuries in the shadow of the Anglican ascendancy. But General Burgoyne offers him the chance to put past humiliations behind him by joining the Church of England and donning the scarlet coat as an officer of King George III. Although his conscience is uneasy, Edmund embarks upon Burgoyne's March to subdue the American revolutionaries by splitting the colonies in two. He finds unexpected love in the arms of Abby, a sympathizer with the cause of American independence, who will do anything to free her father from a British prison hulk, or failing that, strike blow for the hard-pressed revolutionary cause. As the British advance through the New York wilderness devolves into increasing brutality and instability, Edmund will have his already divided loyalties tested to the breaking point under the influence of this hostile land which presents him with new terrors and opportunities alike.
