Synopsis

She guards secrets older than kings. He hunts the truth that could destroy them both.

On the storm-lashed coast of 1760s Dorset, Jenny Tremain appears to be what society expects: a quiet lighthouse keeper's daughter, mending nets and tending lamps. But by night, she is the Compass-guiding smuggling runs to feed her starving village, all while guarding a far more dangerous cargo: the sacred relics of Bronze Age sanctuaries hidden in sea caves and barrows.

When Captain Rhys Carver, a disgraced naval officer turned revenue man, arrives asking about "antiquities," Jenny assumes he's just another thief in a magistrate's coat. But Rhys isn't hunting brandy-he's searching for his missing sister, last seen investigating the same ancient sites now being looted by a powerful collector known only as the Curator.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, Jenny and Rhys must race across Dorset's chalk downs-from the smugglers' coves of West Bay to the whispering chambers beneath Moonfleet Manor-to stop a man who will burn villages to possess history itself. But as tides turn and trust deepens, Jenny faces an impossible choice: protect the relics... or save the man who's taught her that some truths are worth sharing.

From Seraphina Sinclair, bestselling author of The Vixen's Ledger, comes a richly atmospheric, emotionally gripping historical romance steeped in authentic 18th-century detail, slow-burn tension, and a heroine who redefines courage on her own terms. Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Gown, and The Ashford Affair.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Seraphina Sinclair writes bold, intoxicating historical fiction where danger and desire walk hand-in-hand. Her critically acclaimed Phantom Chronicles series plunges readers into the gin-soaked shadows of 18th-century Europe, where master thief and folk legend Kit Valentine outwits empires with nothing but a razor wit, a stolen unicorn talisman, and a black silk ribbon hiding secrets even her lovers dare not touch.
A former stage actress turned clandestine storyteller, Seraphina draws on history's forgotten rebels to craft tales of fierce women who rewrite their fate-one heist, one kiss, one betrayal at a time. Her books blend meticulously researched period detail with open-door romance, slow-burn tension, and the kind of loyalty that survives hangings, drownings, and heartbreak.
