Betrayal is the sharpest blade. Loyalty is a currency to be spent. Power is the only true constant.
In the turbulent streets of Elizabethan London, where treachery lurks in every shadow and loyalty is a fleeting illusion, Myles Devereux thrives. A man of cunning and calculation, Myles navigates the underworld with ruthless precision, making allies and enemies alike in his relentless pursuit of power.
When whispers of a Catholic plot to overthrow the Queen reach his ears, Myles sees not just danger, but opportunity. Drawn into a web of intrigue that spans from the Tower of London to the Spanish court, Myles must balance his own ambitions against the schemes of conspirators who see him as both a pawn and a threat.
As betrayal cuts deeper than ever, Myles plays a dangerous game, pitting faith against greed, love against manipulation, and justice against vengeance. Each move he makes unravels his enemies’ plans—but also brings him closer to the brink of destruction.
Myles faces conspirators, spies, and traitors in a high-stakes battle for control of London’s shadowed streets. But as the bodies fall and the gold piles up, Myles must ask how far is too far when the only rule is survival? Uncertain Odds is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, and ruthless ambition, perfect for fans of historical fiction with a dark and thrilling edge.
Step into the shadows and uncover the secrets of Uncertain Odds today.
This series captured my imagination as being something slightly different. The first story engaging, but this last seems to be the writer’s self-indulgence, with every other sentence a simile, leaving a sense of something overly florid. The plot has promise but this in my opinion the weakest of the four books I’ve read in this series.
