Alastair-Audley

The Alastair–Audley novels form a loose multigenerational sequence linking Georgian family drama with the Regency and the Battle of Waterloo. These Old Shades introduces Justin Alastair and Léonie, while Devil’s Cub follows the next generation through their son, Dominic.

Regency Buck shifts to Judith and Peregrine Taverner under the guardianship of Julian Audley, Earl of Worth. An Infamous Army reunites members of the connected families in Brussels during the Waterloo campaign, bringing the sequence into direct contact with major military events.
