Description

The Sword And The Scimitar is a gripping tale of the Great Siege of Malta, where loyalty, sacrifice, and bloodshed collide. In 1565, Malta faces a ferocious attack by a vast Turkish fleet, and the knights of the Order of St John fear annihilation. A disgraced veteran, Sir Thomas Barrett, is called to assist, but his allegiance is divided.

As he searches for a hidden scroll, guarded by the knights, that threatens the queen's reign, Sir Thomas confronts the past that cost him his honour and a secret that has long lain buried. With a vast enemy army arriving to lay siege to the island, Sir Thomas must make a choice between his duty and his own survival.

This lively and absorbing novel is a compelling story of war, politics, and personal struggle, set against the backdrop of one of history's most pivotal moments.
