"e;A rip-roaring adventure packed with action, drama, and passion."e;-Kate Mosse, author of Labyrinth Honour matters above all to Jack Absolute. But in order to restore his own, he must pay the price in blood. Blooded on the battlefields of Canada, fresh from a winter spent in a voluptuous widow's bed, the dashing Jack Absolute has every reason to feel good. And life only gets better when the ship returning him to England captures a rich prize, with Jack's sword winning him a large share of the booty. But gold is not all the enemy ship holds. Fever nearly kills Jack, his life barely saved by a new comrade, Red Hugh McClune. Their resulting friendship takes him to Bath to recover-and into a passionate romance with McClune's beautiful cousin, Laetitia. Yet neither cousin is who they seem, and tragedy soon strikes Jack. This time, he escapes with his life, but loses what he loves most-his honour. The thrilling finale to C.C. Humphrey's historical adventure series, Absolute Honour sweeps readers into a world of bravery, betrayal, passion, and glory at whatever cost. From daring espionage in Rome to the battlefields of Spain to a climactic duel against an unbeatable foe, Jack seeks to restore that honour with consequences he could never foresee and a price to be paid in blood. "e;Jack in all his swashbuckling glory…Humphrey's acting background brings drama to life in Jack's legendary tale."e;-Booklist "e;A vigorously imagined, dashingly done espionage adventure."e;-Literary Review (UK)
