It is a historical romance, set in the kingdom of Alteria in the 18th century.
It is a stirring tale of romantic, heartfelt love that is troubled by personal grief and suffering and from the impact of jealousy.
The romance is set against the backdrop of a civil war that has plunged the entire kingdom of Alteria into violence and chaos.
Daintry Brouka is a beautiful young lady who is deeply in love with her childhood sweetheart.
Her father is a dangerously ill and she seeks out a herbal potion that will be able to return him to good health.
However, this sets in motion a series of events that results in her being thrust into a horrible prison on charges of being a witch. A charge that, in the 18th century, still carried the death penalty. By being hung or burnt to death.
At first her release from the sentence to death comes as a relief to her. But this relief is soon replaced by the dread of knowing that instead her sentence has been commuted to forced labour in the Katangar silver mines. And nobody has ever returned from those mines.
Will Daintry ever see how betrothed again? Her family or her home? Will a miracle save her or will she die, a slave worker in a silver mine, mining silver for the benefit of other people?
This book is published by Matador at £8.99 and I think it will be an ideal romance novel for that long holiday flight or lounging on the beach in the sun.
