The Sword series follows military characters through a range of colonial and wartime conflicts. The ten books cover campaigns across Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond, with the sword as a symbol of military service and honor.
Published between 1996 and 1999, the series is heavily interconnected with the Mayne, Colonial Caribee, and Commando series. This web of connections is characteristic of Nicole’s approach to building large, interlocking historical narratives.
