Young bloods - Simon Scarrow (Revolution Quartet #1)

Revolution 1769 - 1795.

Wellington and Napoleon. Two soldiers. One destiny.

Arthur Wesley was born and bred to be a leader. With a firm belief that the nation must be led by a king, red-coated British officer Arthur throws himself into serving his country and heads for battle against the French Republic to restore the fallen monarchy.

Napoleon Bonaparte joins the French military on the eve of the Revolution. Shunned as an outsider for his Corsican heritage, he believes leadership is won by merit, not by noble birth. When anarchy explodes in Paris, the young artillery officer is thrust to the forefront of a revolutionary army poised to march against Britain.

As two mighty Empires embark on a bloody duel, Wesley and Bonaparte prepare to face a sworn enemy. One fuelled by ambition, the other by a sense of duty, they are unaware that the fate of Europe will one day lie in their hands.
