Summary

"Ned Ferryman, inspired by news of a rebellion against the Stuart kings, returns from America with his Pokanoket servant to join the uprising against the Roman Catholic King James. As Ned swears loyalty to the charismatic Duke of Monmouth, he discovers a new and unexpected love. Meanwhile, Queen Mary summons her friend Livia to a terrified court. Recklessly, Livia drags her son, Matthew, and his foster mothers, Alinor and Alys, into a plot to save the queen from Monmouth's invasion, and Matthew is rewarded with the Manor of Foulmire, on the tidelands where Ned, Alinor, and Alys had scraped a poor living. Suddenly, Alinor is lady of the manor where she had been disgraced, as Ned marches into the last battle between the royalists and commoners, hoping for a new dawn for freedom."--, Book Jacket
