About this ebook

Broken Times – Part IV in this gripping series

Scotland 1683

As James Renwick returns to Scotland, accompanied by the young Jonas Hawthorne, in search of adventure, an undeterred John Steel is still living the life of a fugitive, hunted day and night by Claverhouse's men.

When John and Jonas reunite, Jonas soon finds himself caught up in the intrigues of 17th century Scotland: amid accusations of witchcraft and almost constant acts of violence, it seems that no-one can escape the desperate times they are living through, and Jonas's desire for adventure soon proves to be more dangerous than he had bargained for.

Gripping and rich in detail, this immaculately researched book is the fourth instalment in Ethyl Smith's Times series.
