Sedition in Surrey

The King wants their land. The law wants their lives. But the Heath remembers its own. Surrey, 1775. Thomas Clay returned to Bagshot ten years too late. A London clerk with ink-stained fingers and a mastery of statutes, he is no longer the rough-hewn boy who left the heath. But when the Crown's "patriotic enclosure" threatens to seize his ancestral home and press-gang the village sons into a distant war, Thomas must trade his quill for a pistol.
Standing beside him is Mary Pike-sharper, fiercer, and more determined than the girl he once knew. Together, they must navigate a world of forged documents, corrupt MPs, and a divided village where suspicion is as thick as the morning mist. From the lawless shadows of Bagshot Heath to the dangerous corridors of power in Guildford, Thomas and Mary lead a rebellion built on more than just steel. They are fighting for a legacy of truth, a sanctuary for the forgotten, and a love that has burned since they were children.
In a time of revolution, the most dangerous act of all is staying home.
