A bold avenger… igniting the flames of rebellion in a land of blood and betrayal!
During the English Civil War, a daring Royalist known as the Scarlet Blade leads a rebel group against Cromwell’s forces to rescue the imprisoned king. Tensions rise when a noblewoman, torn between loyalty to her cause and love for a Cromwellian officer, becomes entangled in the plot. This historical adventure blends romance, swordplay, and political intrigue in a tale of courage and divided loyalties.
