The Lost Duchess

EmmeFifield has fallen about as far as a gentlewoman can.

Once a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth, her only hope of surviving the scandal that threatens to engulf her is to escape England for a fresh start in the New World, where nobody has ever heard of the Duchess of Somerset.

Emme joins Kit Doonan’s rag-tag band of idealists, desperados and misfits bound for Virginia. But such a trip will be far from easy and Emme finds her attraction to the mysterious Doonan inconvenient to say the least...

A beautiful story

There's no sudden resolution, but there's enough wit to help you get through the messy bits

—— Shortlist

A collection of punchy stories . . . Sold and sold

—— Esquire

Darkly amusing . . . Suffused with caustic wit, quirky descriptions and sharp details. We Live In Water never falls short of being highly engaging

—— Sunday Times

... I was very impressed with The Thousand Names and immediately dove into the sequel The Shadow Throne. Recommended.

—— Rob , SFFWorld

Wexler’s polished military fantasy, first in the Shadow Campaign series, distinguishes itself from other epic doorstops with its unique setting, intricate plotting, and layered characters…This excellent series debut is for fans of Peter Brett, Daniel Abraham, and Joe Abercrombie.

—— Booklist

The scenes of military life and combat tactics are well crafted.
