Book 1: Matchlock and the Embassy
April, 1622.
Matthew Lock arrives in The Hague, determined to learn the truth about the brutal murder of his parents.
To survive a terrifying conspiracy, and to save his family, Lock must lean on years of training in the musket drill.
But with Europe on the brink of the Thirty Years' War, following his father's guidance will not be easy.
He must confront his painful past.
He must fight his innermost demons.
He must become a legend.
Book 2: Matchlock and the Rebel
February, 1623.
Nine months after Matthew Lock established his legend – and avenged his family – sinister forces are once again on the move.
The Raven has expanded his powers, and seems hellbent on seizing Lock for his insidious ends. Meanwhile, from the shadows, the enigmatic Black Prince watches and waits, his Masks never far away.
To unravel the complex mystery surrounding his family, Captain Lock enlists in a new army, loyal to Frederick, the outlaw who was once the second most powerful man in the Holy Roman Empire.
But in this Thirty Years’ War, trustworthy allies are difficult to find, and treacherous Rogues lurk where they are least expected.
Matthew Lock must answer for his crimes.
He must confront the sins of his father.
He must channel the rebel within.
This here is Frederick V, the Elector Palatine, a German figure very high up the pecking order, and primarily responsible for the Thirty Years’ War - along with some others! He features heavily in Matchlock’s story, but as friend or foe?
But why would purchase Matchlock products, when you can have them delivered to you, instead?
That, in a nutshell, is what it means to become a Matchlock Ambassador, but in reality, it is so much more than that!
