A Question of Honour (Knightshill Saga Book 1)

The year is 1896. <br /><br /><br /><br />In their magnificent ancestral home of Knightshill, the Ashleigh family are holding their annual memorial dinner to honour their bravest hero in a long line of distinguished military men - Vorne Ashleigh, who lost his life in the siege of Khartoum in 1885. <br /><br /><br /><br />The head of the family, Sir Gilliard – his son having long since died - rules over his Ashleigh grandchildren with the military fervour that has earned him honours on the battlefield. <br /><br /><br /><br />All Sir Gilliard cares about is the continuation of the illustrious family line, but underneath him, the cracks are beginning to show...<br /><br /><br /><br />Will the peace-loving Vere Ashleigh, an invalid since childhood, ever win his grandfather’s respect?<br /><br /><br /><br />Will his hot-head brother Val achieve his dream of flouting family tradition by joining the cavalry? <br /><br /><br /><br />And what of grand-daughters Margaret and Charlotte, the one locked in a desperately unhappy marriage, the other left desolate when her much-loved brother goes away to war?<br /><br /><br /><br />What is more important, doing your duty or following your heart? <br /><br /><br /><br />When it comes down to it, it is all A Question of Honour. <br /><br /><br /><br />The first volume in the three-part Knightshill saga, this is a sweeping historical epic from Elizabeth Darrell, which was originally published under the name of Emma Drummond. <br /><br />Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books.
