For King and Country

When Charles, the Prince of Wales departed on a trip north to confront the rebellious Scottish Noble Archibald Argyll, he realizes the British Isles were neither as prosperous nor as loyal as he had thought, and that he must begin to lighten his father’s load, or lose the Stuart throne in a Civil War. In the 87,000 word historical fiction For King or Country, Prince Charles Stuart seemed to have his future laid out for him, when he was the heir apparent to the English Throne and his father ruled over a “prosperous” and “united” British Isles. Then, a religious discord originating from Scotland uprooted old sentiments between the English Parliament and the English Crown, evolving into a rebellion that threatened to encompass Charles’s entire world. In a tale of trials and hardships, Charles must persist through his humility and find his new place in society in order to have any chance of becoming the King of England.
