About this audiobook
Return to mysterious Measham Hall in this page-turning tale of espionage and intrigue in the years leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
For Nicholas Hawthorne, the Catholic heir to Measham Hall in Derbyshire, subterfuge is part of everyday life. But there are deeper and darker secrets even than his family's outlawed religion: why is his father, Sir William, so reclusive? What became of his mother, and his aunt Alethea? And who fatally betrayed his cousin Matthew?
Nicholas is determined to find out, but as England slides towards invasion by the Protestant forces of Prince William of Orange, he becomes entangled in conspiracies within King James's court – and soon learns that both truth and love come at a high price...
'It's rare for a historical novel to feel so timely.' - JO BAKER, Sunday Times bestselling author of Longbourn
'Impeccably researched and wonderfully atmospheric, with a heroine you can't help rooting for.' - FRANCES QUINN, author of The Smallest Man
'Exciting and immersive. It took me straight into the heart of Restoration England in all its rich and vivid detail. I was gripped!' - NICOLA CORNICK, international bestselling author of House of Shadows
