Saga | Romance Historical
When two ambitious families occupy the same patch of
English soil, rivalry takes root and flourishes. Minor
hurts, nursed with jealousy, fester into hatred, and the
price for this wild and beautiful piece of ground will take
more than three generations to settle. Richard Lanyon
is a free man and no villain, but he must answer to the
aristocratic Sweetwater family, owners of the land he farms
on Exmoor. But even noblemen do not have the power to
contain a man like Richard Lanyon. Ready to seize any
opportunity to become a landowner in his own right, Richard
is prepared to forfeit the happiness of his family to do so.
But no family can grow and succeed without the nurturing
hand of a woman, and even Richard Lanyon knows this. Better
still if the woman is clever and hardworking and will, or so
he hopes, bear sons. With this in mind, Richard arranges a
marriage for his only son, Peter. Though Peter Lanyon and
his bride, Liza Weaver, settle into their marriage, each
harbors a broken heart, lost dreams and unspoken secrets.
Richard himself has another unspoken secret, one for which
he privately suffers much guilt. Should these secrets ever
be revealed, all that he has worked for will be destroyed.
Surviving the betrayals of the past means keeping one
foot in the present, and an eye to the future. It is the
next generation that holds the power to achieve in one
moment what eluded Richard Lanyon for a lifetime. Set
against the background of the Wars of the Roses, The
House of Lanyon creates a vivid portrait of
fifteenth-century English life that resonates with the
age-old themes of ambition, power, desire and greed.
