DYNASTY 4: THE OAK APPLE

Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

England has prospered during the long years of
Charles I's reign. But peace is suddenly and violently shattered by the outbreak of brutal civil war between
King and Parliament.

Edmund Morland sees his family divided when his eldest
son, Richard, brings home a young Puritan bride while Kit is drawn to the dashing Royalist cavalry of Prince
Rupert.

Amid bitterness and disillusion the war grinds on,
severing husband from wife, brother from brother, and Edmund struggles grimly to preserve the Morland
fortune intact, estranged from his sons, and alienated at
last even from his beloved wife, Mary.

DYNASTY 5: THE BLACK PEARL

Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

THE BLACK PEARL continues to unfold the memorable saga of the Morland Dynasty.

The years of Cromwell's Commonwealth had been long and cruel for the Morlands, but with the restoration of
Charles II, hope is reborn.

For Ralph Morland, Master of Morland Place, the return
of the King is a chance to rebuild the family estates and
fortune. For the beautiful and ambitious Annunciata, the
Restoration brings a journey to London — a journey that leads to the amours and intrigues of Charles's Court and
to the unlocking of her mysterious past.

A new age is dawning — a time of healing wounds — but
uncertainty, conflict and sorrow await them both before
they can win the most coveted prize of all.
