The King's Falcon

Charles the Second’s attempt to reclaim his throne ends in a crushing defeat at Worcester. With only the clothes on their backs, Ashley Peverell and Francis Langley flee to Paris where Ashley, known to some as the Falcon, resumes his secret work for the King.

Beautiful and street-wise, Athenais de Galzain has risen from the slums of Paris to become the city’s leading actress but along with success comes the attention of a powerful nobleman, accustomed to taking what he wants. Ashley and Athenais are drawn together with the force of two stars colliding. Ashley, lacking money and often forced to risk his life, has two priorities; to guard the King from a dastardly plot hatched in London and to protect Athenais from the man who would destroy her. Both will test him to the limits.
