England, 1638. A kingdom on the edge.
For eleven years, King Charles I has ruled without Parliament, imposing his will on church and country alike. Now rebellion stirs in Scotland, unrest spreads through England, and the fragile order of the realm begins to fracture.
Edward Harcourt arrives in London to study the law, believing in reason, justice, and the authority of the crown. But the city he finds is restless and divided. Pamphlets circulate in secret. Informers lurk in the shadows. And in the taverns of Southwark, dangerous ideas take root.
Drawn into a clandestine network of printers, agitators, and spies, Edward is forced to confront a question that will shape his future?and the fate of the nation: where does duty truly lie?
Opposing him stands his own brother, Richard Harcourt, a Royalist officer and intelligence agent, tasked with uncovering sedition at any cost. As England slides toward civil war, the brothers find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict neither fully understands.
From the streets of London to the battlefields of Edgehill, Newbury, and Naseby, Roundhead is a sweeping historical novel of loyalty, betrayal, and the birth of revolution.
Rich in historical detail and driven by compelling characters, it brings to life a time when neighbour turned against neighbour, and the course of a nation was decided in blood.
