The Iron and The Stone: Queer historic novel based on a true story.

By Alan Fisher

Captain Edward Rigby survived French cannon fire at Barfleur. He did not survive falling in love with the surgeon who stitched him back together.

In London, their relationship is a hanging offence. And Reverend Thomas Bray has been waiting years for a name like this.

The trial is rigged. The verdict is death. The only way out runs through a flooded sewer under Newgate - and it only works if David Marlowe is willing to lose everything to save the one man he can't live without.

What follows is twenty-two years of running. A fortune. A war. A love neither of them can ever say out loud, in a world that would kill them for it.
