Set against the deep, haunting mists of the English fens, here is a shimmering tale of love and betrayal, of ambition and revenge. For Alyne, a golden-haired beauty rescued in infancy from the murky waters of the fens by the Lord of Ravensley, all that matters is survival - as mistress of that grand estate, married to whichever man bears its illustrious title. So when she learns that her betrothed, Oliver Aylsham, is to be supplanted as Lord of Ravensley by his long-departed Uncle Justin, unexpectedly arrived from India, Alyne cruelly deserts Oliver for the coldly dispassionate new heir. Fleeing Ravensley and its bitter memories, Oliver finds solace and sweet compassion in the arms of Clarissa, and returns with his bride to supervise the draining of the fens - only to watch helplessly as the fragile land collapses, sending Justin to a watery grave. Peasant upheavals and the arrival of an unexpected visitor shed light on Justin's hasty departure twenty years before and the mystery surrounding Alyne's birth. But not until Oliver and Clarissa can triumph over the cunning calculations of Alyne- and her tenacious claim to Ravensley - can the young couple begin to call happiness their own.

Interesting characters.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lord of Ravensley (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book mainly because of the well-developed characters. No one was all good or all bad, like in so many novels. I especially liked the way the author wrote different chapters from the perspectives of the three main characters, letting each one speak for him/herself, instead of the usual method of writing the entire book from one character's viewpoint. It let the reader see the story from different perspectives and explained the motivation behind the characters' actions.
