Series: The Rebels and Redcoats Saga, Book 3
Genre: Historical Fiction
Spy. Redcoat. Traitor.
After Captain John Carlisle’s dance with death, he’s retreated to the serenity of the Oneida village with his beloved Dellis McKesson, trying to hide from the inevitable truth: war is coming. But when duty calls, and John’s expertise is needed to negotiate a treaty between the Six Nations of the Iroquois and the Crown, he’ll once again be faced with a decision: his King or his conscience.
Many truths that have yet to be revealed, and a deal with the Devil made in desperation, threatens to ruin Dellis and John’s hard-won love. As ghosts of the past resurface, and bitter family rivalry exposes betrayal from those closest to her, Dellis is dragged down a devastating path to the truth of her parents’ murders.
Now, the die is cast as war comes to the Mohawk River Valley in the Summer of 1777. St. Leger and his native allies siege Fort Stanwix. They're also plotting a secret attack that will force the Rebels and the Oneida to face off against the Crown and their allies, further dividing John’s loyalties, leaving him on the precipice of another decision: Rebel or Redcoat?

The Turncoat has it all! Ahhh....how good it was to be back with John and Dellis! It's like being with old friends. Friends that bring all the drama :)
When we meet up with John and Dellis again they are preparing for their wedding and all seems to be looking up for the pair until the past catches up with them, threatening their happiness and future. John is called to help negotiate a treaty with the Six Nations and the British, and is torn between his duty to his country and his love with Dellis, and his new Oneida family. Meanwhile Dellis is dealing with issues of her own at home. Her love for John does not go over well with people in her Village and her home and business could be taken away. Add in some family drama...and I'm not talking normal family drama...I'm talking murderous brothers...and you've got one hell of a read!
What I love most about TJ London's books is how mixes the historical with the personal stories of her characters. In London's books her characters deal with some serious issues like pregnancy and the aftermath of sexual assault. It brings more authenticity to the books I think and having suffered multiple miscarriages myself I can relate to Dellis.
The Redcoats and Rebels series are perfect examples of Historical Fiction done right! London is a true lover of history and it shines through in her books, and if you ever get the pleasure to chat with her. She's one of the most enthusiastic historical writers I've ever met!
The Turncoat ends by setting the stage for the next book, which promises to be just as rockin' and I am there for it! You should definitely check out this series, it's amazing!
Available in eBook and Paperback
