Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.16mb
Overview: Wreckers, smugglers, tin mines and cliff-top dwellings. Across more than a century of Cornish history, three women find themselves at the mercy of houses that keep their own secrets.
Book 1: A Way of Life
1748. Carmella Penvane is a strolling player’s daughter with nothing to her name but a talent for the stage. But when a riot at the autumn fair sees her brothers seized by the law and her family’s theatre company destroyed, she loses everything. Alone, she is sent by cart to Carnecrane, a granite house on the cliff edge, as companion to its ailing mistress. But the master of Carnecrane has noticed her. Within the year Carmella is wearing green satin at the head of his table . . . and the line she begins will run through Carnecrane for generations.
Book 2: A Dark Inheritance
1855. Adelaide Hawksley is twenty-one and already a widow, her young husband killed at Sevastopol. All she has left of him is Trenhawk, the grand house on the Cornish cliffs that he promised would be theirs. But when she arrives to claim it, she finds his cousin Rupert already installed as master, with no intention of giving it up. They have loathed one another since childhood. And in a house this isolated, with a failing mine below and a secret hidden in the tower, hatred is a dangerous thing to be left alone with.
Book 3: Portrait of a Girl
1866. Josephine Lebrun sings for her supper in the taprooms of Falmouth, and a voice like hers is wasted there — or so says the wealthy stranger who offers to have it trained, and carries her north to the Cornish cliffs. At the cottage Tregonnis she is given work, lessons, and one instruction: never ask about the locked room. Behind its door hangs the portrait of a golden-haired girl whose name nobody at Kerrysmoor will speak, and whose fate the master of the house refuses to explain. But the moor is riddled with tunnels, and secrets do not stay buried.
