Summary

The movement of the ship seals his fate. He could be sailing anywhere, anytime, but he's not, he's going to the other side of the world. He could be anyone, but he's not, he's the son of a respectable London businessman. His crime? An error of judgement. In England, in 1812, there's no forgiveness. As the ship sails, eighteen-year-old James Tedder's seven-year sentence to Van Diemen's Land begins.
 
Rescuing her eldest son from slave traders in Rio de Janeiro is the most difficult thing Sarah Blay has done in the last two years. Leaving England, her life, her mother, to follow her convict husband James to the other side of the world not knowing if he lives, pales in comparison. 
 
Will lives rebuild? Will love survive?

    The Lancashire Witches is a fictitious account of the activities of the notorious witches Demdike, Chattox and Alice Nutter, who together with others terrorized the district of Lancashire around Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland during the early seventeenth century. The witches named in the book were real enough, if not as witches then as people. The author brings in the dissolution of Whalley Abbey and the historic families of Assheton, Braddyll and Nowell and depicts the final trial and execution at Lancaster Castle in 1612.
