Lord of Ravensley - Softcover
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 survivial - 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 Junstin'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.

Alyne was the foundling girl they called the witch's spawn. They grew up together in the great hall and lonely marshes of Ravensley. From playmates they grew to be lovers. Then from the darkness of exile came Oliver's uncle Justin, and in one night this man of chilling mystery and ruthless strength wrested from Oliver both his lands and his lady. But this was only the beginning of the savage struggle for love and lust, honor and treachery, courage and cruelty, that would strip bare the most unspeakable human secrets and decide who ultimately would be Lord of Ravensley.
