Overview
'An epic voyage well worth taking' Telegraph
'There is nothing quite like a James Buchan novel' Financial Times
Paris, 1784. Following a tragic battle in Quebec, we join William Neilson's grandson - also William - as he strives to find purpose in a changing world, amidst a backdrop of terror and conspiracy, and battles so bitter, they break even the strongest of wills.
Full of colour, and with rich and detailed research, the tales of William Nielson and his family are hugely entertaining and a must for readers of swashbuckling fiction.
Praise for A CHALICE ARGENT, the second William Neilson novel:
'Delightful ... William Neilson continues to exhibit basically all of the virtues. He's brave, stoical, generous, truthful, constant, protective towards the weak and honourable to a fault. Yet entirely likeable. The nearest series to this I can think of is Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin cycle' Francis Spufford, winner of the Costa First novel award
What readers say about A STREET SHAKEN BY LIGHT, the first William Neilson novel:
'A tight and bright romp of a read' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'His rollicking romp ranges widely across the world, taking in the French Revolution, the Jacobite rebellion, love affairs, duels, general skullduggery and much else besides, in prose as elegant as it is witty' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
