Instead he must tend the pigs while his family prays England's bitter civil war will pass them by.

Then comes a stranger on a secret mission and William is plunged into danger and intrigue.

Pursued across war-torn England in the company of a fugitive prince he must at last face the truth about his father's death.An exciting debut by Jessamy Taylor, who is set to become a major voice in historical fiction for children.
