Highwayman by Mark Hadlett

£11.99

Spring 1691: Gandermoon is a young man in his mid-twenties and an arrant coward. Cursed both by his father and his own stupidity. His father gave him the name Oliver, after Cromwell, not the most popular moniker in restoration England.
Gandermoon decides to become a Highwayman. A survivor from the Jacobite defeat in Ireland, he is desperate for money. He owns nothing but his horse, Jacobean Dream, a coloured cob with a distinct pattern of black and grey. Armed with two flintlock pistols, Gandermoon holds up a private coach in broad daylight. When it goes horribly wrong, he goes on the run.

With only his sweetheart, Alethea, for company, Gandermoon flees through North Yorkshire. There the couple encounter creatures from the dark mists of folklore. Strange creatures mix with ghosts and spectres to bedevil the couple on their escape.
