Historical | Saga
Lady-in-waiting Jane Sweetwater's resistance to the
legendary attentions of Henry VIII may have saved her
pretty neck, but her reward is a forced and unhappy
marriage with a much older man and a harsh life on his
farm. Her only consolation is that she still lives upon her
beloved Exmoor, the bleak yet beautiful land that cradles
Allerbrook House, her family home. Played out in this
remote, forbidding place, Jane's long and storied life is
fraught with change: her fiercely protective nature leads
her to assume responsibility not only for her own husband
and child, but also for the rebellious son of her wayward
sister. In time, she regains the position of a woman with
status and property, but she cannot ignore the rumblings
from London, as the articles of faith change with every new
coronation. Jane's small world is penetrated by plotting,
treachery and even thwarted love as those she holds dearest
are forced to choose between family loyalty and fealty to
the crown.
