A kingdom divided.
A dangerous royal deception.
And one family caught in the fight for England’s future.
England, 1685. King Charles II is dead, the country is divided, and rebellion is rising against the new king, James II. As political unrest sweeps across the nation, Alinor and her family are pulled into a deadly struggle for power, loyalty, and survival.
Alinor’s brother Ned returns from America determined to join the rebel cause, bringing with him secrets — and dangers — from the New World. Meanwhile, Alinor and her daughter Alys are drawn into the treacherous orbit of the ambitious and manipulative Livia, who promises them a chance to reclaim the Tidelands they once lost forever.
But the price may be catastrophic.
As conspiracies deepen inside the royal court, Alinor’s son becomes trapped in a shocking plot to create a false Prince of Wales — a deception that could alter the future of England itself.
From the royal palaces of London to the windswept Somerset Levels and the hidden caves of Barbados, Dawnlands is a sweeping historical epic of betrayal, ambition, political intrigue, forbidden secrets, and the extraordinary women fighting to survive in a dangerous new world.
Rich in atmosphere, passion, and historical detail, this unforgettable conclusion to Philippa Gregory’s bestselling Fairmile series is perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Hilary Mantel, and Ken Follett.
