Duty: A Retelling of Waterloo


Duty: A Retelling of Waterloo
Wellington is crushed. Napoleon is back. Ireland waits.
A redirected order changes the course of the Waterloo campaign and the entirety of history. Caught in the madness is Captain Aiden Rowe, an Irishman and patriot who fled his homeland after the murder of his parents. Now, with France's enemies retreating, he will return home.
But he won't be going alone. Along with a boon companion, Killian O'Meara, Rowe will bring the armies of France and the cries of freedom to an oppressed isle yearning for justice.
As Napoleon silences the battle cries of Europe, Ireland starts her own revolution. Through it all, Rowe and O'Meara struggle to keep their humanity in the carnage that arises after Waterloo is won.

Now, I'll put it aside for a few months and begin work on editing The Faith. Once the second draft goes to my editor, I'll start work on the next book in that series. All told, there's lots going on with a crazy season of spring ahead. Stay in touch, and I'll keep writing.
