An epic historical fiction novel of love and revenge, in the vein of Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth, debut author James T. Hogg’s Girl With a Knife Book Three: Devastation features a compelling heroine who must fight for justice and vengeance in ever dangerous 1600s Colonial New England.

The trial of Robert Wentworth in Book Two: Defense continues, in chaos and cruelty, but there is no justice for the Wentworth family. Faythe must leave her home on her own, with nothing more than her horse and the Sheriff’s knife as protection and make her way to safety. But she has other plans, not shared with her friends or family. Faythe is determined to settle scores with the murderous Downing clan. Her courage must carry her through the dark forests where thieves and murderers lurk.   

 

Readers will become thoroughly invested in these compelling characters, richly portrayed by author Hogg. Much like J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Girl with a Knife was originally a story Hogg would tell his daughters. He created a world where girls and women of all cultures are equal, or even superior, to the male characters around them, in books that will appeal to women and men of all ages.
