    About this series

    When war threatens, do you stand and fight, or flee for your life? Is this how a war begins, Bronwen wondered, with the little things? Shops sitting empty while ships in the harbor are forbidden to unload merchandise. No explanation forthcoming when an escaped prisoner begs to see their father, and then disappears. A neighbor's house, looted and burned to the ground. Rebels parading with guns. Then the final blow, their Loyalist family fleeing their beautiful home in New York, bound for Montreal.

    On the eve of the American Revolution, two sisters suddenly find themselves alone in the northern wilderness town of Albany, and needing to shift for themselves. They are definitely out of their element when they are asked to deliver a warning to British troops at Ticonderoga. Desperate rebels, Mohawk Indians, Green Mountain Boys and Adirondack wilderness all stand in the way of their efforts to reunite with their family.

    Their journey is long, and where will it take them?

    To a place neither of them expected.

      On the cusp of the 14th century, aristocratic young Isobel MacDuff and dashing nobleman Rob – destined to become Scottish national hero Robert the Bruce – deposit their love child for safekeeping on the remote Isle of Arran. But as Pippa approaches adolescence, the grim realities of war entangle her in her family's struggle against the English. Forced to join her father's household, she is appalled by the violence and misery he has set in motion. But by the time Pippa begins to understand the harsh necessity that drives him, war has wreaked its terrible vengeance on her own life.

      High above the coast of Cornwall a remarkable tree dominates the woodland. The only oak of its type, it stands out because it is larger than any other tree. Down the ages, it has served as a landmark for thieves and smugglers, lovers and outlaws. In the small village below, people have a rather obsessive dread of anything that stands out, that doesn't fit the mold. They like to keep to themselves and don't like to see their traditions threatened. But along comes an Italian and then an Irishman, each escaping religious persecution in his native country. A young woman and a small boy follow, fleeing the French Revolution, plus a stranger running from a charge of murder, and a girl of mixed race sent by mistake from a London orphanage. Imagine this motley assortment of people seeking to build new lives in one hard-pressed fishing village.
