Diane Scott Lewis - Helena Woulfe thought her lavish life on a seventeenth-century estate would never change. When her father is on the wrong side of Monmouth's rebellion, Helena must flee the safety she's always known, and enter a dangerous world as a traitor's daughter. Anita Seymour writes with a sure hand; her knowledge of the seventeenth-century, battles and customs, sweeps you into the era. Helena is a strong, yet vulnerable character you will be intrigued to spend time with. A great story!
John Claire - Anita Seymour knows her 17th century stuff, and brings to vivid life her characters in that time frame. By the time I'd finished reading this novel, I felt I'd been there, in the countryside as Helena looks for members of her family through the broken bodies and stench of blood that are the realities of war, and as she tries to keep safe along the narrow, crowded lanes of London. Helena holds her head high, knowing everyone considers her father a traitor. Her family has lost everything in the rebellion, and with her younger brother, she tries to make a new life in the city that never sleeps. This is a novel I plan to keep on my kindle for a long time.
