DAWNLANDS

The new historical novel from Philippa Gregory, the Number One bestselling author of Tidelands and Dark Tides.

The spellbinding Fairmile series continues as the fiercely independent Alinor and her family find themselves entangled in palace i
ntrigue, political upheaval, and life-changing secrets in seventeenth-century England.

It is 1685, England is on the brink of a renewed civil war against the Stuart kings and many families are bitterly divided. Ned Ferryman cannot persuade
his sister Alinor that he is right to return from America with his Pokanoket servant Rowan to join the rebel army. Instead, Alinor has been coaxed by the manipulative Livia to save the queen from the coming siege. The rewards are life-changing: the f
amily could return to their beloved Tidelands, and Alinor could rule where she was once lower than a servant.

Alinor''s son, Rob, is determined to stay clear of the war, but when he and his nephew set out to free Ned from execution for treas
on and Rowan from a convict deportation to Barbados, they find themselves enmeshed in the creation of an imposter Prince of Wales - a surrogate baby to the queen.

From the last battle in the desolate Somerset Levels to the hidden caves on th
e slave island of Barbados, this third volume of an epic story follows a family from one end of the empire to another, to find a new dawn in a world which is opening up before them with greater rewards and dangers than ever before.
