Snake and Sword - A Novel

"Snake and Sword: a novel" by Percival Christopher Wren tells of Damocles de Warrenne and his life before, during, and after serving in the Regiment of Heavy Cavalry, known as the Queen's Greys. One oppressive June evening, Lenore de Warrenne returned from church and entered her dressing room. Here her Ayah undressed her of hat, dress, and boots and helped her into the more easeful tea gown and satin slippers. Who would have thought that trickery would befall this dignified woman and her family soon after.
