Book
The Twisted Sword
First published 1990
Ross is drawn to Paris as an observer during Napoleon’s return from Elba, and the Poldark family is pulled into the uncertainty of the Hundred Days. Private hopes are exposed to a European crisis that moves faster than anyone can control.
Set in 1815, the novel is the Poldark book most directly tied to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The Waterloo campaign turns history from distant news into personal risk, making the fate of family members dependent on diplomacy, battle, occupation and the violent collapse of Napoleon’s final bid for power.
