Science Fiction Alternate History
In a present-day Britain where the British Empire never
existed, wives and mothers strive for deliverance in a novel
about oppression, autonomy, and family secrets by the author
of The Peacekeeper.
What if Europe had never colonized the world? It is a
world that never had overseas empires, the transatlantic
slave trade, or the Protestant Reformation. There is,
however, in an obscure island nation called England, a woman
running for her life.
Marie, Duchess of Suffolk, has no choice. In this
society, women are a reproductive commodity. Marriage is the
only available occupation. And barren wives like Marie are
expendable trade. After absconding with the family jewels,
Marie fakes her own death and seeks a life outside the
confines of her family and her marriage. She’s looking
for freedom but finds even more: an underground network of
women like her, her estranged sister, and a greater mission
to discover the truth behind their mother’s
inexplicable death.
Hunted and chased across borders by those she fled, Marie
has stolen more than the family jewels. She is escaping with
secrets. And all that matters now, no matter the risk, is
stealing freedom.
