When civil war erupts once again, Maxwell and his family are presented with an opportunity to escape.
The king’s cavalier is torn between his duty and the promise of a new life.
As King and Parliament come to the brink of a peace settlement, the New Model Army initiates a coup.
The fate of Maxwell – and the King – must be decided.
