Battlefield Amy Cross

"Why would an entire English Civil War battle have been covered up? Why would both sides prefer to pretend that it had never happened?" An archaeological dig outside the small town of Sharpeton turns up some surprising results when hundreds of skeletons are discovered. Convinced that she has discovered the site of a previously forgotten battle, Doctor Mary Baker sets out to learn the truth about a horrific event that took place more than three centuries earlier. Meanwhile, a few miles away, a little girl makes a shocking discovery deep beneath the desolate moor. Nykolas Freeman, one of the most notorious figures in English history, is about to rise from the grave once again. This time, however, his experience of the modern world is going to push him to the brink of madness, and a deadly prophecy warns that a great tragedy will soon strike the English countryside. What really happened at the Battle of Sharpeton in 1644? Why was it erased from history? And what links one of England's most notorious monsters to a scared little girl? Battlefield is the second book in the Nykolas Freeman series, which began with The Priest Hole.
