On her eighteenth birthday, Honor Harris meets Sir Richard Grenvile: he is proud, reckless - and utterly captivating. They have a rare connection, and with her beauty and sharp wit, she intrigues him too. But days before their wedding, tragedy strikes and Honor must reconcile herself to a life alone.

Fifteen years later, war forces Honor to shelter with her sister at the Cornish estate of Menabilly. There, she meets Richard, who has risen through the ranks to become a general in the king's army. With all of England in turmoil, Honor must draw on her courage to save Richard's life and defend her country.

Press Reviews

  • Kirkus Reviews
    Fascinating historical romance, set in the period of England's Civil Wars, when Charles was still stubbornly standing out against parliament
  • Daily Telegraph
    One of the last century's most original literary talents
  • Margaret Forster

    No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of "real literature", something very few novelists ever do
  • Guardian
    She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality
