Loyal and brave, but haunted by his grief, Maxwell thirsts for revenge. His life has never been the same since his encounter with the parliamentarian Gervase Harper, a man whose ruthless streak sees him prosecute the war with vigour. Harper cuts down anyone who gets in his way. Maxwell's wife was no exception. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outcome of Naseby causes Maxwell to be tasked with a royal rescue mission.
