Produktbeschreibung
Everyone's hunting him. He's hunting for answers. This is not yet the story of a spy - but of how one is made. 1791. Switzerland. As revolution roars across neighbouring France, a fragile Confederacy trembles. Suspicions fester between cantons. Alliances crumble. Foreign powers circle. An assassination attempt may have just ignited the powder keg. A nameless fugitive races for Zürich with a war-averting scroll. There's just one problem. A blow to the head wipes his memory clean. Now, thrust into a world of eccentric peasants, dubious gruel, and pursued by enemies he can't even remember, he must navigate a comedy of errors to reclaim his past. With a nation on the brink, and his amnesia a ticking time bomb, the questions only multiply: Will he recall who he is before it's too late? Or will Switzerland fall? Is he the traitor everyone seeks? Or simply history's hapless fool? Vain, blundering, bold, and possibly the most wanted man in the Confederacy, he might - just might - change the course of history... if he doesn't trip over his own sword first. History, mystery, and misadventure collide. Start your journey today! "In vain doth valour bleed..." - Milton.
Autorenporträt
Justan Autor is a newcomer author to the world of novels, bringing a passion for the arts to historical fiction.Throughout his youth and adulthood, Justan has been painting, landscape gardening, tailoring, playing the pianoforte, and composing classical music. It was only 5 years ago that he discovered his true calling in narrative and novel writing.Inspired by a love of 18th and 19th century literature, Justan aims to bring seldom-told tales of old to life. His first novel will immerse readers in the sights, sounds, and struggles of 18th century Switzerland, employing evocative settings, multilayered characters, and dramatic storytelling - all with an element of the burlesque - that should, he hopes, resonate with readers, transporting them into a living past. Justan's diverse artistic talents and passions come together to shape his unique voice and perspective as a newcomer to historical fiction.
