Fiction | Historical
When two ambitious families occupy the same patch of
English soil, rivalry is sure to take root and flourish. A
glimmer of initiative swells into blind desire, and minor
hurts, nursed with jealousy, fester into a malignant
hatred. When a bitter feud is born, the price for this
wild and beautiful piece of ground will take more than
three generations to settle. Richard Lanyon answers to
no one save the aristocratic Sweetwater family, owners of
the land he farms. His bitter resentment is legend within
the bounds of their tiny Exmoor community, but as their
tenant, Richard must do their bidding. Still, even
noblemen don't have the power to contain ruthless
ambition, and the Sweetwaters are no exception. Driven to
succeed, Richard is prepared to take what is not his, and
to forfeit the happiness of his family to claim the
entitlements he lusts for. In this epic story Valerie
Anand creates a vivid portrait of fifteenth-century
English life that resonates with the age-old themes of
ambition, power, desire and greed.
