Peace and Love: How does a warrior live his life, once all the wars are done?
About this ebook
Uppsala Province, Sweden, 1720: Magnus von Lindeborg, soldier, commander, champion; grandson of Jack Fiskardo's youthful high-born ensign, Karl-Christian von Lindeborg; a man of wealth, nobility, renown -
- and a battered spirit, and a lonely heart. A man who finds himself without a place in the country of his birth, and without purpose to his life; a man who sees himself fading into nothingness much like the ghostly painted warriors upon his castle's walls.
But Fate has other ideas . . .
A wonderful tale of love and the power of human redemption, and a compelling treat for fans of The Silver Wolf and The Dead Men.

About the author
J. C. Harvey is the fiction pen-name for Jacky Colliss Harvey. After studying English at Cambridge, and History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, Jacky worked in museum publishing for twenty years, first at the National Portrait Gallery and then at the Royal Collection Trust, where she set up the Trust's first commercial publishing programme. The extraordinary history of the Thirty Years War (1618-48) and of 17th-century Europe has been an obsession of hers for as long as she can remember. She made her fiction debut with The Silver Wolf in 2022, a historical novel longlisted for the 2022 HWA Debut Crown Awards, and described by Tracy Chevalier as 'superb storytelling'. The series continues with The Dead Men, published in 2023.
