Lady of Blossholme
In 16th century England, a young woman stands alone against forces that would crush her. Cicely Foterell has no mother, no brother, no husband to defend her inheritance when the Spanish Abbot Maldon sets his sights on her family's lands. As the religious upheaval of Cromwell's rise and Henry VIII's courtly wars sweeps England, the Abbot grows desperate to possess the legendary Carfax Jewels he believes she hides. He will have her lands, her virtue, or her life. When she is finally condemned as a witch and tied to the stake, Cicely must choose: reveal the secret of the jewels and live as a traitor, or keep her silence and burn. This is Victorian adventure at its finest: a tale of one woman's quiet, furious determination against a world determined to break her.
