HardcoverPaperbackeBookAudio

The next instalment in the dramatic new Ravenscar series from the international bestselling author of A Woman of Substance.

As Edward Deravenel stands alone on the rocky Ravenscar beach he counts his blessings. The war to end all wars is over; he and his brothers have survived. Now he can build Deravenels, the family business empire, into all he has dreamed of.

Yet there is a thorn in his side – his reckless younger brother, George. George’s gambling and unpaid debts are beginning to cause rumours and unease.

And Edward realises that his brother is capable of not just recklessness but blackmail and betrayal. The fortunes of the house of Deravenal suffer a terrible reversal as one disaster follows another, and tragedy strikes.

Ravenscar: A house, a legacy and a dynasty.

It is Edward’s daughter Bess, his golden girl, who carries the family name forward, making an alliance that will secure the empire and the inheritance, and start a new dynasty.

And it is Bess’s son Harry who stands in his grandfather’s shoes at a similar age and vows to rebuild Deravenels to greatness – as long as he can have the son and heir he longs for. Whatever it takes…

Rife with dastardly struggles, smoldering, illicit passion, and cowardly insidious betrayals…Fans of Bradford's trademark brand of panoramic, multigenerational historical dramas will have plenty to sink their teeth into as the feuding Deravenels continue their rivalry.

Booklist

Another great yarn from the ultimate storyteller.

The Sun

This second book in the Ravenscar Trilogy brings us into the lives of the second generation, and does so cleverly and addictively. The characters are, as always, well drawn and you get involved with this family from the start. There are a couple of shocks for which I was unprepared, but they just added to the fascination and desire to read the third book. Well worth getting is you like BTB's work.
