Traitor: An Englishman sails with the Armada

By: Monmouth, Geoffrey

When the Spanish Armada sets sail to invade England in 1588, among its ranks is Edward Comyn-an English Catholic cavalry captain whose family lost everything under Elizabeth I's Protestant regime. After his father and brother were executed for alleged treason, Edward fled to Spain where King Philip II promised to restore his lands and titles if the invasion succeeds.
But when storms and English fire ships scatter the great fleet, Edward finds himself and his ship trapped on the Scottish coast and captured by Highland clan chieftains demanding an impossible ransom. He must navigate treacherous negotiations while encountering deadly betrayal.
From the storm-tossed seas around Scotland to the royal court in Edinburgh, from a Yorkshire manor house to the final confrontation with murderous traitors, Edward's journey becomes one of survival, justice, and ultimately forgiveness. Along the way, he discovers that loyalty, honour, and love are more complex than he ever imagined.
Set against the backdrop of one of history's most famous military disasters, "Traitor" weaves together maritime adventure, political intrigue, and personal redemption in a tale that explores the price of divided loyalties and the true meaning of home.
Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, and Patrick O'Brian.
