Description
He slammed his fist down. "We must apprehend every last one of these accursed Tatzelwurms!"Enemies have multiplied. Dangers close in on all sides. Every hour matters in this desperate race against time. But is it already too late...?When memories flood back, & the bitter truth of failure awaits, exoneration may only now be found in the shadows. As our hero's honour hangs in the balance, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where truth is ever-elusive & danger ever-present. Yet will uncovering a sinister cabal prove to be his redemption or his ruin?The story continues to unfold in this riveting sequel to "Vain & Valour". It's now 1792, & the Swiss confederacy teeters on the brink of collapse. Beset from within by economic turmoil, grain shortages, civil strife, & inter-cantonal distrust, & threatened from beyond by a warring France & Austria casting long shadows across the borders, Switzerland's fate has never been more precarious."Vain & Valour" continues to masterfully weave together contrasting themes & threads of history & imagination. Again, the author's distinctive voice guides the readers through the halls of power & privilege, where ostentation & excess reign supreme, & to the humble inn, where comedy & camaraderie offer a respite. With each turn of the page, the line between ally & adversary is ever-shifting. & amidst the chaos, our hero is pulled inexorably toward his twin destinies - that of ruler & secret agent. But when vanity & valour is locked in an eternal dance, which path will he ultimately chose?Prepare to be swept away once more by this enthralling tale of intrigue & deception, where the facades of the powerful crumble, & the courage of one man may shape the destiny of a nation."Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all..." - Keats
