Can you imagine a government determined upon the mass slaughter of its own people? Thomas Davenport is invited to design a magnificent new house. His sister, Grace, hears it's deep in the Scottish Highlands and decides the invitation should include the wider Davenport family. They depart in the summer of 1691, not realising that their travels will put them in the midst of the Glen Coe Massacre, one of the most horrific acts of a government against the people in British history. They flee desperately, while the forces of government flex their muscles, threatening their liberty, their lives. For blame has to be placed on someone, especially when public opinion turns against the perpetrators. Their departure for the Highlands leaves Parchman virtually free rein in Dorset, letting loose on the Davenports he hates, targeting homes, friends and possessions. He employs a host of evildoers including his assistant, Alfie Rose, and his one-time bosses, Cartwright and Ferguson. But there are other forces in the equation, such as love and friendship; will they prove stronger than anything Parchman can wield or will the travellers return to ruin and desolation? All to the Sword continues the gripping Dorset Chronicles series; the history and drama surrounding the emergence of our modern nation.
