In this third novel of the Tewkesbury Chronicles trilogy, it is 1781, and the French have sailed to New England to assist the struggling Continental Army in its quest to defeat the British. Privateering is a lucrative pastime for seamen along the Connecticut coast, and Patriots risk their lives to steadfastly ply the waters of Long Island Sound. Our Patriot family of the Whites and the Tewkesburys from books I and II of the Tewkesbury Chronicles, is deeply embedded in privateering efforts. The young widow, Rebecca Tewkesbury, risks losing love again, while her sister, the independent-minded and ever-adventurous Mehti, comes of age. But sinister elements invade their lives and the traitorous Benedict Arnold invades New London and Groton, Connecticut.

A seminal biography of the underappreciated eleventh-century Scandinavian warlord-turned-Anglo-Saxon monarch who united the English and Danish crowns to forge a North Sea empire Historian Timothy Bolton offers a fascinating reappraisal of one of the most misunderstood of the Anglo-Saxon kings: Cnut, the powerful Danish warlord who conquered England and created a North Sea empire in the eleventh century. This seminal biography draws from a wealth of written and archaeological sources to provide the most detailed accounting to date of the life and accomplishments of a remarkable figure in European history, a forward-thinking warrior-turned-statesman who created a new Anglo-Danish regime through designed internationalism.
