The new historical novel from Philippa Gregory, the Number One bestselling author of Tidelands and Dark Tides . In a divided country, power and loyalty conquer all . . . Ned Ferryman, inspired by news of a rebellion against the Stuart kings, returns from America with his Pokanoket servant to join the uprising against roman catholic, King James. As Ned swears loyalty to the charismatic Duke of Monmouth, he discovers a new and unexpected love. Meanwhile, Queen Mary summons her friend Livia to a terrified court. Recklessly, Livia drags her son Matthew and his foster mothers Alinor and Alys into a plot to save the queen from Monmouth’s invasion, and Matthew is rewarded with the Manor of Foulmire: on the tidelands where Ned, Alinor and Alys had once scraped a poor living. Suddenly, Alinor is lady of the manor, as Ned marches into the last battle between the royalists and commoners, hoping for a new dawn for freedom. A compelling and powerful story of political intrigue and personal ambition, set between the palaces of London, the tidelands of Foulmire and the shores of Barbados.

Excellent Trilogy
I have read my way through the whole trilogy now. I enjoyed Tidelands enormously but was rather disappointed with the second volume as I felt it took the characters too far from their habitat and there was too much emphasis on Livia, whom I dislike. This third volume neatly ties the stories together and brings the characters home. My only quibble (hence no fifth star) is that I could not engage with the new character, Rowan, and found her exploits incredible and unlikely to have aroused so much passion and devotion! The descriptions of Barbados were fascinating, however.
