1592. Robert Carey, eighth son of Lord Hunsdon, has to his servants´ dismay abandoned Queen Elizabeth I´s court and is heading north to take up the post of Deputy Warden of the English West March. The Border Marches are lawless badlands, peopled by cattle-rustlers, horse-thieves, arsonists, kidnappers and murderers. Spawned of centuries of Anglo-Scottish conflict, they are a festering sore that breeds treason and rebellion, threatening the fragile stability of Elizabeth I´s realm. With just a handful of horseman and a taciturn sergeant with a dark past, Carey, in his lace-collared, pearl-sashed courtly finery, will be expected to bring order to this bloody flux. Carey has his own reasons for taking the post (closer to his true love´s arms, farther from his creditors´ gimlet eyes), but the courtier may find, in this land of duplicity and blood-feud, that he´s merely traded one set of troubles for another. Plunging readers straight into the raucous world of late-sixteenth century border reivers and unfettered Elizabethan intrigue, Guns in the North is a historical fiction high-water mark and the first chronicle of Sir Robert Carey´s adventures, collecting the novels A Famine of Horses , A Season of Knives and A Surfeit of Guns under one volume.
