A reluctant union. A fractured kingdom. The birth of a dynasty.
Fans of Ken Follett, Philippa Gregory, and Sharon Kay Penman will be swept away by this richly detailed epic, filled with emotional depth, strong heroines, and unforgettable characters set against the real events of the Wars of the Roses.
In the tumult of 15th-century England, where noble houses war for the crown and loyalty is a dangerous gamble, one arranged marriage will forge a legacy that endures for generations.
The Founding, the unforgettable first novel in the Morland Dynasty series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, introduces a sweeping historical family saga where power, love, and survival collide.
1434, Yorkshire. Proud and sharp-witted Eleanor Courteney is devastated when she's forced to marry Robert Morland, the quiet son of a sheep-farming family. She longs for courtly romance--not the hearth of a provincial estate. But as civil war rises and allegiances shift, Eleanor must fight to shape her own destiny--and the future of a family that will span centuries.
