Synopsis

1689: the Resoration enabled the Morland family to restore their own fortune, but now the Jacobite rebellion brings another threat to their security.

Annuciata Morland, fiercely loyal to the Stuart cause, follows her beloved king, James II, into exile. She leaves her gentle grandson, Matt, to oversee Morland Place in her absence. Without her wise presence, Matt finds himself in an arranged marriage to India Neville and at the mercy of a woman as heartless as she is beautiful. After a lonely and sheltered life he lurches between the exquisite pain of love and the torment of deep despair.

When James III - the Chevalier - returns to claim the Stuart throne, the Morlands are reunited in one country. Death and defeat threaten them, but their loves and loyalty prove stronger than kingly ambitions.

The seventh volume of The Morland Dynasty series covers the era from the beginning of the reign of William & Mary through that of Queen Anne, concluding shortly after the 1715 Rising, which occurred after the ascension of the Elector George to the throne of England. This is a much neglected period,......more

So many characters, so many stories going on at once, a tangled web of surprises, shocks, eye rolls laughs and tears. Thank Goodness for the family tree at the beginning which I had to refer to constantly!......more
